John Gardner Postgraduate Public Service Program
The John Gardner Postgraduate Public Service Program encourages graduating seniors and co-terms to invest their talent, energy, and training in public service after graduation. Our team supports students to pursue first jobs in the public interest through focused events and resources, fellowship awards, individual advising, and alumni connections. Our efforts are made possible through our partnerships with the Career Development Center, Stanford Alumni Association, San Mateo and Santa Clara County/City Manager Association, and the national Partnership for Public Service.
We offer support in the following areas:
- Postgraduate Fellowships: the Haas Center administers paid postgraduate fellowship programs that provide support for graduating Stanford students who wish to make contributions to public service organizations and communities.
- Fellowships, Internships and Service Programs (FISP) database is a comprehensive public online searchable database containing 500 fellowships, internships and other established service programs collected from websites and print resources.
- Public Service Careers Website: the Haas Center and Career Development Center have collaborated to create this "one-stop site" for information on public service careers.
- Alumni Connections: the Stanford alumni community is one of the most powerful networks in the world. Check out this video on Stanford Alumni Association Career Connect. As a current student, you can access that network and use it to explore your career options. Stanford alumni are doing great things to change the world; the Haas Center can help you get connected. Start by considering an alumni match through Stanford Alumni Mentoring.
If you want to make a difference through your work, we are here to help.
