About Post-graduate Service

Post-graduate service is a unique opportunity for people to be engaged in a reality that is often overlooked by mainstream society. By living simply and intentionally in community, reflecting on issues of faith and justice and sharing their skills full-time at a service site, they open themselves up to be transformed by the love, joy, challenges and sorrows of humanity.

Take a look at the links below and in the left column to learn more about post-graduate service and the opportunities available to you. If you'd like to talk with someone on campus, call (574) 631-5779 or e-mail cscstp@nd.edu.
