You can become involved in a number of different clubs while you are at Chemeketa. Clubs can be academic, curriculum-related, activity-oriented or based on a specific interest. Club sponsored events include special lunches, dances, displays, trips, fairs and more.

We are currently seeking input for the types of clubs and organizations students are interested in starting at the Yamhill Valley campus. 

The clubs that are currently active at the Yamhill Valley Campus are –

• Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA) Club
  This club offers a welcoming and supportive safe space for LGBTQ+ people and their allies, discuss LGBTQ issues and plans events related to the LGBTQ+ Topics. 
  
  
• Phi Theta Kappa
  Phi Theta Kappa recognizes and encourages scholarship among two-year college students. PTK also provides opportunity for leadership, service, scholarship and fellowship in an intellectual and community-oriented environment.
  
  
• Spanish Club

Explore new cultures through conversation, Spanish language movies, fun activities, and delicious snacks. Join us for club meetings and Spanish movie days through-out the term. 

If you don't see a club you'd like to participate in, you can start a new club. You only need three interested students and a staff or faculty advisor. If you have questions about a club, or if you are interested in starting a club, please contact Yamhill Valley Campus's College Life advisor, Julianna Pilafian at 503.316.3290.
