Student Organizations

Many of Princeton's student-run organizations have service and advocacy objectives, including those listed below. Student organization culture at Princeton is vibrant and dynamic. As a result, organizations are constantly changing, so keep in mind that contact information for the following groups might be outdated. The listings are organized in 10 categories:
- Local Community Service
- Political Engagement
- Campus Life
- Identity Groups
- International Advocacy and Action
- Health Advocacy and Action
- Environmental Advocacy and Action
- Other Causes Advocacy and Action
- Dialogue and Discourse

Another good source of information is the listing of undergraduate student organizations on the website of the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students. The ODUS website is also a good resource for information and advice about organizing and funding events.
If you work with a student organization and would like to have your groups' civic engagement activities included here or in the weekly Civic Engagement and Public Service E-Newsletter, please send the information by email to pace@princeton.edu.
