Post-Graduate Service
What is Post-Graduate Service?
Many people feel the call to serve others, and some choose to answer that call by participating in a full-time volunteer program after graduation. There are hundreds of volunteer programs available offering a wide range of positions, living situations, and locations.
Post graduate service organizations connect volunteers with communities in need, while providing living arrangements, professional development opportunities, stipends, and some provide AmeriCorps Educational Awards after your year of service is completed.
During your year of service, you could work as a case worker in a social service agency, as a teacher in a school, as an activity director in a shelter, or in countless other communities and positions.
Most programs require a one-year commitment, some require shorter or longer commitments. The programs can be faith-based or secular in nature. Most of the programs referenced in this website are faith-based, meaning that they are rooted in a spiritual understanding of the call to service, but are open to people of all faiths.
Is a year of service right for me?
There are no “right” reasons to do a year of service, but many people have difference motivations for doing so. Take some time to think about why you would like to do a year of service.
- Why do I want to volunteer?
- How will this help my career goals?
- Do I want a faith based program or a secular service program?
