There is more to the college experience than classrooms, books and academics.

Service to the community is integrated into many aspects of student life at the College of St. Joseph.  Awareness of our responsibility toward others is part of our Catholic culture.

The college provides plenty of opportunity to serve your fellow students or the greater Rutland community.

CSJ also participates in Roots & Shoots group. Roots & Shoots provides an opportunity to make a tangible difference in your community while being part of a larger global effort. Past campus sponsored events have included visits to assisted living facilities and the Rutland food shelf.

The Roots & Shoots program is about making positive change happen — for our people, for animals and for the environment. With tens of thousands of young people in more than 120 countries, the Roots & Shoots network connects youth of all ages who share a desire to create a better world.
