Student Clubs at Clackamas
College is more than classes and homework. It's a time to discover your passions and interests by getting involved with campus activities.
Did you know that Clackamas Community College has student clubs and organizations that range from global activism to student nursing to faith-based and political groups?
Taking part in a club can be a fun part of your college experience. You can meet new people, develop your leadership skills and contribute to the college community. Below is a list of active clubs at CCC. Don't see a club you are interested in? Start one!
We want to help you connect to other students who share the same or similar interests. You can start a club and get others to join you, or you can just make some new friends. Fill out our Club Connection Form and someone will be in touch!

ASG Active Clubs
Purpose
Active Minds is established for the expressed purpose of increasing awareness of the students, faculty, and staff about the following:
- Issues surrounding mental health
- Symptoms related to mental health disorders
- Mental health resources available both on campus and in the surrounding community
- Reducing stigma surrounding mental health disorders so that students will feel more comfortable openly discussing mental health-related issues and seeking help when it is needed
- Supporting peers to find the skills and resources they need to increase health coping techniques that promote personal wellness
- Providing a forum and building an open environment for all students to speak up about mental health
Active Minds does not provide counseling or any form of clinical mental health care, and an Active Minds chapter is therefore not, nor will ever form, a peer counseling or support group.
