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 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.
