Does your campus or a nearby school have a college council? In the U.S. and Canada, we are on 150 campuses and growing. Check our map of councils to see if we’re near you.

If you don’t have a local college council, you can still join the Knights online and consider finding a local council to be involved with.

What do College Knights do?

Every campus’s needs vary, and college Knights are encouraged to create their own, unique initiatives that build brotherhood, serve others and evangelize those around them.

In addition to our regular Knights of Columbus Faith in Action programs, college councils can also choose from programs specifically created for campus settings.
