Our Approach

Main content start

The Haas Center for Public Service at Stanford University connects academic study with community and public service to strengthen communities and develop effective public leaders. The Center aspires to develop aware, engaged, and thoughtful citizens who contribute to the realization of a more just and sustainable world.

The Haas Center's work is shaped by its vision and philosophy of creating an inclusive learning environment, along with Stanford's Cardinal Service program, the Principles of Ethical and Effective Service, the Pathways of Public Service and Civic Engagement.
