Student Jobs

The Haas Center for Public Service is Stanford University's most visible commitment to public and community service. Established in 1985 by President Donald Kennedy, the Haas Center provides many ways for Stanford students to authentically connect their academic and service lives.

We connect academic study with community and public service to strengthen communities and develop effective public leaders. The Center aspires to develop aware, engaged and thoughtful citizens who contribute to the realization of a more just and humane world.

We welcome Stanford undergraduate and graduate students to work with us in student staff positions. Job responsibilities range from supporting to organizing student tutors to researching service-learning.

Our professional staff represents a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. While we seek students to help us do our jobs better, we also value their personal and professional development.
