Concorde Career college strives to be a positive role model in the communities where the campus is located. Community service plays a large role in that effort, and in fact, one of the pillars of the pillars of Concorde's mission is to be community-based.

Concorde students are educated and trained to make meaningful, lasting impressions and contributions not only to their employers and patients but to their communities. We encourage our associates to make meaningful contributions to their respective communities, whether through volunteer service or public events.

Here are some community events each of our 16 campuses have participated in so far this year.
