Volunteering
Reaching Beyond Yourself
There's no doubt about it. Volunteering in community
service is 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.
That's why service is a core value of Clarkson: not only because it's good for the community, but also because it's good and personally important for our students. Service helps develop a sense of social responsibility and civic pride. By helping others in need, your participation in volunteer experiences will lead to the betterment of the larger community while enriching your own life.
