Each year, Community Impact serves thousands of community members through more than 20 programs in the areas of Adult Education and Workforce Development, Emergency Services, Health Access, and Youth Achievement. You can serve alongside Columbia University and Barnard students in the Harlem, Washington Heights, and Morningside Heights communities.

The Graduate Initiative for Inclusion and Engagement is part of Columbia’s commitment to diversity and the success of all graduate and professional school students. This initiative was designed with the needs of students from historically marginalized communities in mind, including BIPOC and first-generation students. All students are welcome.

The Food Pantry is a vital resource for students on campus serving thousands of students annually. It is a place where students can come to get access to food and products they need to succeed, without shame or stigma. Food Pantry volunteers support pantry operations and spread awareness about the pantry.

Religious Life's Multi-Faith Fellowship provides the rare opportunity for genuine learning and community across faith traditions. Honesty, openness, and humility are core values that make the Multi-Faith Fellowship a unique experience on campus.

Religious Life presents free concerts at St. Paul’s Chapel (117th & Amsterdam) and streaming on YouTube on Tuesdays at 7pm and Thursdays at 6pm. This is a great space to relax, unwind, and hear beautiful music.

Religious Life supports the spiritual needs of the whole University community. Students, faculty, and staff from any faith tradition, or from no tradition, can sign up to receive updates about concerts, yoga, and other opportunities for spiritual enrichment.
