What You'll Learn
Bring renewal into every corner of society
In a hyper-partisan world, is it possible to work together toward the common good鈥攐r even agree what the common good is?
It is possible. But it takes people with commitment and conviction to lead the way. People like you.
As a member of the Common Good Collective, you鈥檒l actively contribute to a better society well before you graduate from college. You鈥檒l research, listen, and act alongside your professors, peers, and community members, grounded in the Christian commitments to love God and neighbor. You鈥檒l get involved in real-world projects right here in Grand Rapids neighborhoods near Calvin's campus. You鈥檒l even have opportunities to expand your learning and impact on off-campus spring break trips. On those trips, you鈥檒l see firsthand what obstacles stand in the way of healthier societies鈥攁nd how community members are working to overcome them.
It鈥檚 hard work, but it鈥檚 good work. Do that work in the like-passioned cohort of the Common Good Collective as you grow into an agent of renewal in your communities.
