Public service on the map

A new University website aims to promote public service by Harvard affiliates around the globe.

From The May-June 2010 Issue

The Harvard Alumni Association launched its first Global Month of Service in April; now the University is continuing that initiative by hosting a beta “Public Service on the Map” website where alumni, students, and faculty and staff members can report on their current service projects and publicize additional opportunities to help those in need.

The site’s goal is to connect Harvard volunteers throughout the world. For additional details, visit https://onthemap.harvard.edu.

Published in the May-June 2010 print issue under the headline “Public Service on the Map,” in the Alumni section.
