The UC Berkeley Public Service Center connects students with service and leadership experiences.

“The relationships I established through the Public Service Center have supported and impacted my experience at Cal in a remarkable way. There are so many brilliant people that contribute to the essence of the center. My peers are some of the most passionate and genuine people that I have had the pleasure of learning and growing with. The opportunities for growth by working with the Public Service Center are limitless.”
