Community Service and Civic Engagement Program
Champlain College isn't just a place to earn a degree—it's also where students learn how to be responsible, respectful, engaged citizens. The Community Service and Civic Engagement Program provides the encouragement, resources and support that allow our students, faculty and staff to connect with the community—on local, national and global levels—through leadership, service, mentorship, partnership, reflection and dialogue.
Champlain College and the Community Service and Civic Engagement Program offer a number of programs to engage students in community issues. Many of these initiatives are the result of individuals identifying a need and working with others in the community to take action and address that need.
Tent City, our educational week long program to raise awareness about homelessness, is happening in less than a month! Current students can sign up here to sleep out overnight (if you would like to sign up for multiple nights you must fill out a form for each night).
Please click on the following links to commit to one day/night of Tent City and look for more information in your email soon!
Other programs include volunteering Habitat for Humanity, tutoring local refugee students, cooking soup every week for the Salvation Army, assisting low-income individuals in filing their taxes, raising awareness about social issues through dialogue and discussion groups, designing educational video games, switching hundreds of light bulbs off in campus buildings to save energy, voter registration drives, and organizing blood-drives for the American Red Cross.
