Drexel students are passionate about and deeply engaged in issues of sustainability. There are several student organizations that offer a range of perspectives and activities. Getting involved in student organizations is a chance to meet like-minded peers, develop leadership skills, and make an impact while finding lifelong friends.

Service Opportunities

All students are required to take CIVIC 101 as a part of their experience at Drexel University to get exposure to what service opportunities are available locally and how they can get involved. It is absolutely encouraged that students engage and involve themselves beyond this course and the Lindy Center is available to help!

For service opportunities specifically related to sustainability, students can go to the Galaxy database to seek out various ongoing opportunities with Drexel’s partner organizations. You can use keywords like “environment” and “sustainable” to focus your database search.
