CCE news and updates

Important New York state voting information

Governor Cuomo has issued an executive order postponing NY's presidential primary to June 23. The presidential primary will now take place on the same day as the previously scheduled local, state and federal primaries. As all but one candidate has left the race, we are awaiting information on whether or not N.Y. will host a presidential primary. If you plan to vote in the primaries, are currently registered to vote in Broome County and will be unable to vote in person in Broome County, you have some options to cast your ballot. We recommend either requesting an absentee ballot be sent to your home address OR updating your voter registration address so that you can vote in person at home. Governor Cuomo has also issued an executive order allowing all N.Y. voters to vote via absentee ballot due to COVID-19. Voters should select "temporary illness" as the reason they are requesting an absentee ballot. Visit our voter engagement page for relevant forms and deadlines, and contact the CCE or your local Board of Elections for additional assistance.

Volunteer and internship opportunities 

Local volunteer opportunities related to COVID-19 pandemic

Multiple organizations in Broome County are seeking volunteers to help with needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. For students who have left Binghamton or are unable to volunteer during this time, the CCE has also compiled a list of remote service opportunties. Check out the following opportunities to find something that is the right fit for you! 

Intern with the Center for Civic Engagement!

The Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) is looking for a talented and motivated intern to work with the CCE team to help plan and carry out a variety of events and programs. The intern will serve in a leadership role in the coordination of at least one large-scale event, with the opportunity to help plan or lead other events or programs based on their interest and skills. The intern will work 10-12 hours per week, and can choose to receive academic credit. 

For the complete job description, qualifications, and more information see the Event Management Internship- CDCI or noncredit on hireBING by Handshake. 

Join the CCE's 2020-21 Voter Engagement Team!

The CCE seeks students to join our dynamic voter engagement team as either an Andrew Goodman Foundation Vote Everywhere Ambassador or as a liaison to STEM or business students. The CCE leads a comprehensive voter engagement program that has successfully registered thousands of students to vote and increased student voting rates in every election since 2012. The CCE partners with the Andrew Goodman Foundation to host a team of Vote Everywhere Ambassadors along with other student staff and interns who work collaboratively with campus and community partners to lead our nationally recognized voter engagement initiative.

Join the B-IMPACT CDCI seminar 

The Fleishman Center for Career and Professional Development and the Center for Civic Engagement are excited to partner on B-IMPACT (Binghamton-Individuals Making People and Communities Thrive), a unique CDCI internship seminar for students interning in the nonprofit sector. Students in this seminar will have tailored professional development content designed to explore nonprofit career paths and gain exposure to nonprofit management topics. To participate in the program, students must secure an internship at a nonprofit organization, request CDCI credit and indicate that they wish to enroll in the B-IMPACT nonprofit internship seminar. The seminar will be offered online for four credits starting in fall 2020. Students who need help finding an internship are encouraged to schedule a virtual appointment in hireBING.
