PUBLIC SERVICE

There are many community and public service opportunities available to Harvard students through student organizations, the Phillips Brooks House Association (PBHA), the Public Service Network (PSN), the House and Neighborhood Development Program (HAND) and the Center for Public Interest Careers (CPIC). All of these activities are designed to:

  • deliver needed services to the community
  • get students involved with neighborhoods outside of Harvard Yard
  • provide leadership opportunities for students
  • offer undergraduates the opportunity to explore the field of public interest careers through internships and fellowships
  • foster social responsibility within the College community
  • encourage collaboration with students and faculty

The century-old Phillips Brooks House (PBH) in the northwest corner of Harvard Yard is home to PBHA, PSN, HAND and CPIC student organizations and staff. The House also provides staff support to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Committee on Public Service, a faculty and student committee that provides oversight of all undergraduate public service activities.
