Grinnell's commitment to the common good comes from somewhere innate, grounded in a partnership with the town that surrounds us. It weaves its way through everything we do. Our coursework, our student groups, our art, our sense of community - they prepare us for the ever-mounting challenges facing our state, our nation, and our world. But Grinnellians don't just talk, we do. Here's how.
There are endless ways to be a proactive and thoughtful citizen. Coming here means finding out which ones are yours.
By partnering with student groups and local organizations, we offer wide-ranging opportunities for sustained volunteering. Grinnellians go where there's need, and we don't leave before the work is done.
Promoting sustainability on campus requires both individual actions and collective advocacy. Grinnell offers opportunities inside and outside the classroom to help you get involved and make a difference to our environment.
Through the Social Innovator in Residence program, students work alongside groundbreaking civic leaders who are making an enduring difference in the world by fostering interdisciplinary creativity and organizing for social action.
