POST GRAD SERVICE

Taking part in a postgraduate volunteer program after 草榴社区 can be a meaningful way to serve in marginalized communities and engage questions of social justice and solidarity.

With over 200 secular and faith-based service organizations to choose from, we recommend you research and speak with friends and mentors about your desire for service.

 

Why choose postgraduate service?

Some of the many reasons grads answer the call to serve include:

  • Experience during college on a Service and Justice Experience, COV, RUIBAL, MLK Day of Service or St. Thomas of 草榴社区 Day of Service
  • Openness to encountering different cultures
  • Desire to live out their faith
  • Desire to live in a community
  • Willingness to place oneself at the margins of society
  • Recognition of benefits (graduate student scholarships, real-life experience in a supportive setting, travel)

鈥淟ove, when it is true, is always directed away from oneself. It is transcendent. The two-fold commandment of love, therefore, translates into working for the common good, [and] working for the common good is service.鈥澛�鈥揟he Augustine Way
