POSTGRAD SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES

student talks to service organization rep at postgrad volunteer fair

Reimagine Your Next Step

Taking part in a postgraduate volunteer program after Villanova can be a meaningful way to serve in marginalized communities and engage questions of social justice and solidarity. With over 200 secular and faith-based service organizations to choose from, we recommend you research and speak with friends and mentors about your desire for service.

Why Choose Postgrad?

Some of the many reasons grads answer the call to serve include

Experience during college on a Service and Justice Experience, COV, RUIBAL, MLK Day of Service or St. Thomas of Villanova Day of Service
Openness to encountering different cultures
Desire to live out their faith
Desire to live in a community
Willingness to place oneself at the margins of society
Recognition of benefits (graduate student scholarships, real-life experience in a supportive setting, travel)

Note: Service areas, housing, loan deferment and other benefits differ with each program.
