Engage
How will you get involved?
Becoming involved in community is a key part of the Clark experience. Make your mark on the world as you connect to the people around you—on campus, in the local community, and global communities.
Your Unique Contribution
Whether you volunteer regularly, embrace advocacy, raise awareness about the things that matter to you, or participate in days of service, you can find ways to support the local community. If you can’t make a regular commitment, you can volunteer through days of service, like:
- the Regional Environmental Council’s Earth Day Cleanups, and
- Working for Worcester.
Fill out our survey, to let us know what inspires you to make change in the world.
