Looking for an opportunity to learn about issues facing our surrounding communities?

Check out our college service trips! These trips are a great way to proactively engage with the community, meet other students and meet staff members in the college. We offer one time service trips throughout the academic year and a week-long service trip during spring break.

The students left the trip with a sense of awareness about different issues that face communities and were able to build relationships with their peers through this shared experience. Students shared that they gained a sense of confidence to volunteer more in their communities whether that be in Davis or their home.”
