INVOLVEMENT: IT’S UP TO YOU!

One of the most valuable assets you possess is your time. Whether going to class, studying, working or attending events, activities play a key role in your success and enjoyment of college. Becoming involved in activities outside of the classroom leads to many opportunities and benefits.

This guide will help you find the activities and resources to meet your needs at Yakima Valley College. Here’s how to start matching activities and resources to your interests.

1. Select two or three interest areas. They can be activities you have previously enjoyed or experienced success in, something related to career or academic interests, or just something that sounds interesting and fun.

2. Set goals. Decide what you want to gain from your college activities. Browse through the clubs and programs listed here and select activities that provide opportunities to achieve those goals.

3. Take risks. Join a student club, try a new sport, or apply for a student leadership position. You’ll only know if an activity is right for you if you try it.

4. Have fun. Remember your time is valuable; spend it doing things you like and that benefit your life and college career.

I just love everything about YVC. First of all, the campus. The huge library, the park, I just found the place incredibly inspirational and motivating.
