Service and Advocacy

Ethics is about doing as much as it is about understanding. We thus aim to support students as they identify, evaluate, and choose activities in their lives that will put their ethical understanding into action. Through volunteer and service opportunities, students develop practical skills but also learn about and often transform their own commitments. Experiences of service and advocacy can be both educational and empowering, especially when they have a clear social impact and link volunteers to communities dedicated to shared values. We will help students find opportunities to act in response to the issues they care about and also to reflect on their experiences through our partnership with the Brown Center for Leadership and Service. We will also work with the Bob Graham Center for Public Service and ServeGNV as well as other campus and community resources for public service.
