Departmental Overview

The UC Berkeley Public Service Center (PSC) was founded in 1967 as the Community Projects Office by a coalition of student service groups, and was known as “Cal Corps” until 2013. The PSC has grown at a remarkable rate and now supports nearly 200 student leaders and more than 5,000 students who partner with 250 community-based organizations each year. The Public Service Center builds student leadership skills, helps students find their passion and purpose, enhances the capacity of our community partners, and lifts up the public service mission of the University. For the past over 50 years our organization has served as the heart of civic engagement and the public service voice at Berkeley.
