    Stanford’s Haas Center for Public Service developed a framework that describes six ways in which we can make a contribution to the common good. They named this framework the Pathways of Public Service and Civic Engagement. You can find out more in this two-minute overview video and on the Haas Center’s website. St. Norbert College student survey participants join students from across the country in contributing to research to better understand college students’ interests in and pathways to service.

The Pathways of Public Service and Civic Engagement framework was developed by the Haas Center for Public Service at Stanford University and is curated by the Working Group.
