Volunteering
Reach beyond yourself and into the community.
Volunteering and community service can be one of the most fulfilling opportunities you'll find at Clarkson. By reaching out and offering your energy, talent and compassion, you can make a real difference in people's lives. Through service to others, you will gain a better understanding of yourself, demonstrate classroom learning, and increase leadership, team building and management skills. That's why service is a core value of Clarkson; it benefits both the students and the community. Service helps develop a sense of social responsibility and civic pride.
