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 Stanford’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).
