Welcome to CARE’s Campus Connection Program

CARE’s Campus Connection program is where passionate, driven college-aged students come together for a full school year to make a difference with advocacy through hands-on experiences, impactful training, and a direct line to CARE’s global mission. Inaugurated by chapters of Delta Sigma Theta, the largest African American sorority in the U.S., CARE’s Campus Connection program aims to work side-by-side with students to bring new energy and perspectives to global issues that demand greater attention, from gender equality to humanitarian relief. Our vision is to expand and include emerging leaders from all backgrounds, empowering every campus voice to tackle global issues and drive real change. If you’re looking to be part of something bigger, this is the place to start. Let’s make an impact together!

Why Get Involved?   

  • Engage with Leaders: Connect directly with members of Congress and influential community figures to drive real policy change on the issues you care about most.

  • Learn & Grow: Participate in unique workshops and trainings that equip you with the skills to lead effectively on campus and beyond.
