Stanford + Community
Stanford University strives to involve employees, students, and the public in community engagement opportunities as we all work to be good neighbors and make a difference in our communities. In so doing, we create deeper connections with one another and build positive relationships with community partners. It is an opportunity to engage, learn and grow together.
We are guided by the Principles of Ethical and Effective Service and engage with humility.
Volunteer on Campus
Community members can explore volunteer opportunities available to the public on campus and help deepen our community connections.
Employee Engagement
Through Cardinal at Work Cares, Stanford employees can get involved and share service opportunities with one another. Together, we address mutual challenges and amplify impact within the communities where we live.

Student Service
Cardinal Service engages Stanford students in opportunities for a transformative educational experience, to cultivate civic identity, and to be beneficial to the community. Community organizations can also share opportunities with the Haas Center for Public Service.
Students and other members of the Stanford community are invited to reflect on their core values and what service means to them as part of the What Do You StandFor? campaign during fall quarter.
