Whether you’re into sports, theater, gardening or fashion,
you will find what interests you at Fordham. Offering over a hundred clubs and
activities for students, Fordham will undoubtedly have something that makes you
excited to get involved. Fordham is a close-knit community and getting involved
on campus is an irreplaceable way to meet new friends and find people who are
interested in the same things as you.
One of the best decisions I made at Fordham was to volunteer
for a year as a Jumpstart Corps member. Jumpstart is an organization that helps
underprivileged preschoolers prepare for kindergarten by teaching them reading
and writing skills. As a corps member, I would get to go into a local preschool
in the Bronx twice a week and work with these wonderful four-year olds. Every
session we would practice their letters, read a new story, and do fun
activities based on the story. I would leave the preschool with a smile on my
face every time because of the great kids I was lucky enough to work with.

What was great about joining Jumpstart was that I was put in
a group of six other Corps members from Fordham who would work in the same
classroom as I did. Sharing such a unique experience together, we all became
close very fast. Not only did Jumpstart help me realize that I want to work
with kids in my future, but it also led me to meet so many new friends that
enjoy doing the same things as me. There are so many amazing clubs and
organizations just like this one at Fordham that you should most definitely
take advantage of during your time here!
