Active Citizen Network

The Active Citizen Network (ACN) is a civic society of SNHU alumni who made community service an integral part of their education at SNHU and continue to commit themselves to be active and involved citizens as graduates.

The Chandler Center at Southern New Hampshire University

At The Chandler Center we envision a campus where all students are civically engaged and committed to social action. We work to meet this vision every day by creating and sustaining service and leadership opportunities for students that focus on civic engagement.

The Center was created in 2005, largely in response to growing student interest in service. Student leadership is at the core of the Center's management with students coordinating the majority of the initiatives with the guidance of professional staff.

The Center's fundamental purpose is to engage and empower students to be active citizens. There are many ways to get involved in the work of our Center- from getting a job with us to volunteering to take a service-learning class to traveling with our alternative break program!
