The largest extracurricular activity at NCU is the Children's Benevolence Club. Every Monday club members go to the Jen Ai Home in Chungli to serve as guiding big brothers and sisters to the children there. Then, during their winter and summer vacations, the college students run a camp for the Jen Ai children.
