Center for Excellence in Learning through Service
The Center for Excellence in Learning Through Service (CELTS) was established in 1991 and modeled after its predecessor, Students for Appalachia. Here at CELTS, we focus on community service and civic engagement through a variety of ways that include mentoring, tutoring, and social justice advocacy.
