Student Volunteerism
Hamilton prepares students for lives of meaning, purpose, and active citizenship. The Clinton and Hamilton communities each benefit from the volunteer activity of College students putting into practice what they’ve learned in their classes while simultaneously preparing to serve their future communities.
