Getting involved, helping those in need, and making our local, state, national and global communities better for all: each of these is a core part of the Chapman experience.

That’s why more than 75% of Chapman students get involved in community engagement programs and projects.

The ultimate goal? Fostering teamwork, helping out the community and putting education into action all at the same time.

Grand Canyon Clean-up Participant
“It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The trip allowed a group of strangers to become great friends while giving us a different perspective of the Grand Canyon other than what we would have gotten as regular tourists.”
