Community Involvement
The University offers over 200 student clubs and organizations, which focus on everything from specific majors and professional associations to religious and cultural organizations.
Community is an integral part of the Chico Experience, and many student organizations spend time giving back. For example, students volunteering through Community Action Volunteers in Education (CAVE) (www.as.csuchico.edu/cave) or the Community Legal Information Clinic (CLIC) (www.csuchico.edu/clic) contribute more than 60,000 volunteer hours each year to the North State and beyond. CAVE, CLIC, and other service opportunities allow our students to make a difference in people’s lives and grow into active, committed, and well-rounded professionals and community members. To learn more, visit www.as.csuchico.edu.
Our Recreational Sports program has 22 competitive club sports teams and our Fraternity and Sorority Affairs program has 34 campus-recognized fraternities, sororities, and culturally based fraternities and sororities. Our diverse range of opportunities allow students from any class level to meet others with similar interests and provide an opportunity to create lifelong friendships, develop leadership skills, and immerse themselves in the Wildcat family. Find out how to get involved at www.csuchico.edu/sll. Each Chico State student is automatically a member of the student union, the Associated Students (AS). The AS offers many opportunities for students to get involved, attend events, run for office, or find meaningful student employment on campus. To learn more, visit www.as.csuchico.edu.
