Opportunities

Interested in community service? Experiential learning in the curriculum?

Options at Williams are wide-ranging.  We at CLiA provide and/or connect students and faculty to experiential learning opportunities in every major area of interest. To aid in your search, we categorize offerings and opportunities into a dozen action areas including arts and culture, education, community and economic development, history, government and politics, media and technology, health and wellbeing, religion and spirituality, social services and more.  A sampler of options is available here.  If you do not see an opportunity or resource that suits you, we’ll help you find one or build your own! Contact CLiA Director Paula Consolini at [email protected] for help.

Below, we list major programs and projects beginning with those directed by staff and faculty, followed by those run by students. Below these lists, you’ll find specific opportunities provided by outside organizations and other on-campus hosts.
