About the Haas Center for Public
Service
Stanford
University’s Haas Center for Public Service serves as the hub of Cardinal
Service, a campus-wide initiative to make service a distinctive feature of a
Stanford education. The Haas Center inspires and prepares students to create a
more just and sustainable world through service, scholarship, and community
partnerships. Guided by the Center’s Principles of Ethical and Effective
Service, students engage in local, national, and global service across diverse
pathways—community engaged learning and research, community organizing and
activism, direct service, philanthropy, policy and governance, and social
entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility.
Cardinal
Service focuses on four dimensions that have proven transformative in the lives
of students: a full-time, quarter-long service experience (Cardinal Quarter);
community engaged learning classes (Cardinal Courses); sustained service
engagement (Cardinal Commitment); and support to integrate service into any
career and pursue work in the public interest (Cardinal Careers).
