Pathways of Public Service & Civic Engagement: Join the Pathways Working Group

Posted by Campus Compact on September 30, 2025

Campus Compact is proud to partner with the Haas Center for Public Service at Stanford University to expand the reach of the Pathways of Public Service and Civic Engagement and support its associated Working Group.

What are the Pathways?

The Pathways framework and survey aim to advance our understanding of students’ interests and predispositions regarding approaches to social change. The framework and survey help improve the quality of student programming, understand students’ shifting needs and desires over time, and implement a common framework and language that can be used across the field of higher education civic and community engagement.

The Pathways Working Group

The Working Group   is a collaborative effort undertaken by 44 institutions and organizations across the U.S. and abroad to implement, analyze, use, and refine the Pathways framework and survey. To join the Pathways Working Group, an institution or program must commit to the following:

1. Identify a primary liaison willing to be responsible for administration of the survey and who will participate, when available, in periodic (3-4 per year) video conferences with other Working Group members.
2. Implementation of the Pathways of Public Service and Civic Engagement survey with at least one cohort of students at their institution (a class, program, etc.).
