Washington University’s nexus for service, the Gephardt Institute for Public Service promotes civic engagement across campus.

We support members of the University community in contributing their time and talents, applying their scholarship and expertise, and discovering innovative ways to make a positive impact on communities worldwide.

Our definition of civic engagement is purposefully broad. We include volunteering, community service through groups or as individuals, service-learning courses, as well as interest in political life and civil service careers.
