Volunteers with healthcare backgrounds are essential to emergency response. A system has been created where volunteers can be certified and practiced so that during an emergency with these credentials can step in and be used wherever needed, on the front line or in hospitals.

Developed in 2010 by Stanford University's Haas Center for Public Service, the six Pathways of Social Impact describe a range of possibilities by which we can make a contribution to the common good. The pathways intersect and overlap, demonstrating the interdependent nature inherent in working toward the common good. No one path is superior to another, and people move in and out of these pathways over time. Learn more about each individual pathway.
In combination with the Six Pathways of Social Impact, our center utilizes the Active Citizen Continuum. Developed by Break Away, a national Alternative Break nonprofit, this is a powerful framework that does not put people into permanent categories, but instead give language to the journey one takes as they become more engaged, inquisitive, and forward-thinking toward active citizenship. By combining the Pathways of Social Impact and the Active Citizen Continuum to encompass a broader venue for active citizenship, we design programs, initiatives, and collaborations to move students along the continuum from pathway entry points to more substantial community learning experiences.
