CAC aims to generate awareness about cancer and educate the Nobles community on cancer related issues.

The Community Service Board is a group of self-selected students who plan and execute service projects of interest in conjunction with the Service Learning Department and other clubs and organizations.

The group aims to design and complete at least one project a month, such as collection drives and fundraising events.

Elected by the student body, SLC promotes and preserves the community spirit of Noble and Greenough School. The Council's role is to build support for feelings of enthusiasm and inclusion in school-wide activities. Every "good school year" and every "well-run school" benefit greatly from the public and private projects of students who work to weave the broadest possible fabric of student life. At Nobles, the initiative for that important function rests with the SLC.
