Public Service

The University of California, Berkeley campus has a long and proud tradition of public service. Its students, faculty, and staff do not just work here, but they also serve the greater community, providing hours of free tutoring and mentoring, building and refurbishing homes, restoring wildlife habitat, and educating others about how to go green. The following provide some examples of what our community does, and shows you how you can add to our efforts.
