I want to volunteer

The Center for Civic Engagement realizes Bard’s vision— to act as a private institution in the public interest. CCE initiates programs, fosters sustained partnerships, and supports and connects student, faculty, and staff of Bard’s local, national, and international networks as they work to make a difference in the civic life of their communities.

BoS coordinates campus efforts that consider the environment, social equity and the economy in addressing systematic improvements to energy use, transportation, food and materials management. BardE3 and BardEATS are student-led groups that help run FreeUse and the Bard Farm, coordinate food workshops, and provide bike/trail maps and guided rides. Take a walk to our office in Achebe House where you can use a sewing maching or do an upcycle project inside or in the screened in porch (by appointment) or volunteer to help with campus sustainability.

Chaplaincy - Spiritual Life at Bard College actively promotes and develops a richer understanding of what we believe and how to use our beliefs to transform the world. Through the Chaplaincy department we offer spiritual support for all students and members of the Bard community. We provide ways to explore faith academically, often with a focus on social issues, and always with an emphasis on diversity and openness. Each chaplain also offers religious services and/or opportunities to deepen students' faith and build community. We are also available for pastoral counseling and conversation.
