Opportunities for Students

Participating in COOP programming at Hamilton is a great way to learn more about yourself, educate your peers, and prepare for a civically engaged future. Participating in community outreach opportunities with the COOP provides the bonus of motivating others to serve, to make contributions to the community and to become lifelong engaged citizens.

Alternative Break

Alternative Breaks Service Trips offers Alternative Break experiences for students over Fall Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break. With AXB, students participate in once-in-a-lifetime service opportunities while being exposed to a diverse world beyond the Hill.

Hamilton Reads

Hamilton Reads is a local tutoring program that helps children in our community learn to read. Hamilton Reads sparks collaborations between educators, parents, librarians, college students, and community groups.

HAVOC

Hamilton Association for Volunteering, Outreach, and Charity (HAVOC) is the largest student-led volunteering organization at Hamilton. We encourage students to get involved with the larger community outside Hamilton and create positive change. HAVOC volunteers build leadership skills, develop meaningful relationships, and most importantly, make a difference in people's lives every time they serve the community.
