Welcome to the CLS Challenge!
What Is the CLS Challenge?
Not sure which programs are right for you? The CLS challenge rewards you for participating in your service project of choice and attending CLS sponsored events.
The CLS Challenge is an opportunity for students to learn important skills and give back to the community while having fun. The components of the challenge provide a diverse experience and teach the core values of the Center for Leadership and Service. The challenge is meant to unite students who are interested in service and leadership and provide a structured program for them to learn about the CLS and become involved members.
