Get Involved

The richness of a Yale education extends far beyond the classroom. Students participate in hundreds of campus organizations, including nearly 100 athletic teams, more than 90 performance groups, and 60 cultural associations. 

Yalies are active in more than 500 student groups. None are restricted by a student’s major, and nearly all are founded and managed exclusively by undergraduates. Whether you are continuing a lifelong passion or trying something completely new, there is a group for you.
