COMMUNITY SERVICE AND
SOCIAL ACTION CLUBS
Amnesty International
Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally
recognized human rights, with a mission to undertake research and action focused on
preventing and ending grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of
conscience and expression and freedom from discrimination, within the context of its work to
promote all human rights.
C.A.L.I.B.E.R.
C.A.L.I.B.E.R. (Cause to Achieve Leadership, Intelligence, Brotherhood, Excellence and
Respect) strives to help students attain academic success by creating cultural understanding
and appreciation. Students raise scholarship funds through the annual International Talent
and Fashion Show. C.A.L.I.B.E.R. also participates in the Prosper program, where you visit
local high schools and interact with students. This after-school program provides high school
students an opportunity to be paired with a mentor who will help with homework, organize
fun activities and encourage students to not only finish high school, but to pursue a college
degree.

community service. In the past, members have supported the American Heart Association,

communities of the importance of environmental education, awareness and action. EAC
members participate in park, roadside and beach cleanup. It also hosts an Earth Day event to
promote campus and global green initiatives and collaborates with the Green Hall Council to
develop environmentally themed programs.
