Community Service
On the Block Plan, time is a hot commodity - but we've still got plenty of it to devote to the community. Through international service excursions and student-led local organizations, 80 percent of Colorado College students make time to give back.
The Center for Service and Learning
Created to promote an ethic of service and civic-minded leadership, the Center for Service and Learning supports a variety of volunteering ventures and ongoing student service organizations. Enjoy anything from a four-day service trip during New Student Orientation to an international excursion to India or Peru. Spend a few hours on Sundays at the student-run CC Community Kitchen, the only soup kitchen in the United States that actually operates on a college campus. Make new friends and see more of the Southwest through BreakOut, a student organization that coordinates services trips during block breaks. Don't see the service organization for you? Start a new one.
