Hampshire is home to over 100 student groups. Choosing one can be a challenge. Don’t see what you're looking for? Make it so: campus leadership and activities can help.

	More Cooperative
	Since 1972, the Mixed Nuts co-op has provided cheap, organic, and natural food to the Hampshire community. Run entirely by student volunteers without administrative funding, Mixed Nuts is a testament to student dedication.
	More Active
	Amnesty International's mission is to raise awareness on campus of human rights issues abroad, educate the student body of what they can do to change these injustices, and to host events that will help accomplish both of these goals.
	More Voices
	The Crazy Pitches a capella group is a group of students who work together to arrange, teach, learn, and perform songs that are not typical a capella tunes.
	More Poetic
	The Hampshire College Slam Collective's purpose is to establish and foster a healthy community of poets and spoken word artists on campus.
	More Local
	The Local Foods Initiative is dedicated to the appreciation and promotion of the diverse food products produced in the Pioneer Valley. We believe that the process of growing, preparing, and enjoying sustainable, local food is ecologically, gustatorially, and socially important to Hampshire College and the community at large.
	More Academic
	Childhood, Youth, and Learning (CYL) is a student group for students interested in childhood, youth, child and adolescent development; processes of human learning; and educational theory and practice. The primary mission of the group is to create a community for students studying these topics.
	More Vertical
	The mission of the Climbers’ Coalition is to offer opportunities for experiences that are often left behind in the modern world: a sense of camaraderie; outdoor exposure; a better understanding of oneself through educated risk; physical and mental fitness; and consideration for the natural environment.
