The Jane Addams Center for Civic Engagement (JACCE) at Rockford University advances the ideals of Rockford University through the practices of community engagement, citizenship, and peace. The Center:

• Connects and supports students, faculty, and staff in forging community partnerships and pioneering projects.
• Strengthens community partnerships by building mutually beneficial relationships as the center serves as a resource and platform for engagement.
• Focuses on areas of need in the community and works with Community Partners to help restore and enrich the lives of our fellow citizens.

Approaching civic engagement holistically, we at the Center see ourselves as not only working for the betterment of society but also empowering our students with the knowledge that they can use their college education for the public good and bring about positive change in the world.
