Civic Engagement

Hampden-Sydney student volunteers clearing a trail

Good men make a difference in the world, and helping you become "a man who serves" is part of the mission of Hampden-Sydney College. 

The Civic Engagement program provides you with opportunities for volunteer service outside the College gates. For some, it provides practical experiences that will help make career choices. For others, it helps balance studies with outside pursuits, like working with kids. The habits, knowledge, and commitments you develop here will help you build a life after college that is fulfilling and meaningful, one that truly exemplifies what it means to be a good man and a good citizen.

Hampden-Sydney is a proud participant of The Big Event, a nationwide day of service.
