Clubs at CVU range from serious (such as Scholar's Bowl and club sports like Indoor Track) to fun (such as Leisure Sports and Barbecue and Hand-Eye Coordination and Cognitive Skills Club).

Students have been involved in community service including Key Club, and Presidential Honors Society members, who perform community service.

In 2006 a student organized the school's first Women's Panel which featured Vermont Politicians including a state senator, and a state officer.

The second panel was held in 2007 and featured Vermont Leading Business Women. The panel was featured in the state and local newspapers and was recognized as an important step for the school in recognizing the importance of Women's History Month.
