Infrastructure Equity Through Volunteering

Join Us

For a decade, Community Engineering Corps (CECorps) has utilized the collective technical expertise, volunteer networks, and resources of our founding partners ASCE, AWWA, and EWB-USA—powerhouses in the infrastructure and development sectors. We recognize that there are many engineers who feel called to use their time and expertise to support those in need! CECorps connects volunteers to meaningful opportunities to grow their skill set and network while addressing infrastructure inequities in underserved communities. We can help you find fulfilling ways to engineer local impact.

Services We Provide

Community Engineering Corps volunteers provide pro-bono engineering services that may include consultation, investigation, evaluation, planning and design of engineering works and systems, engineering studies and the review of construction for the purpose of assuring substantial compliance with drawings and specifications.

Midcoast Maine is a diverse set of towns, villages, and rural areas where transportation is complicated by many peninsulas, rural connectors, vulnerable coastal islands, and extensive tourism. Additionally, the region is experiencing unprecedented population growth: 15 towns grew by over 10% since 2010. As traffic congestion and climate events worsen, the Midcoast Council of Governments is seeking to develop a base analysis to study movement patterns, growth, and an inventory of transportation infrastructure condition and capacity.
