In addition to our service opportunities, there are many opportunities for students to engage with PittServes and get involved in their civic community.

Civic Action Fellows
Civic Action Fellows (CAF) is an immersive, academic year-long community engagement opportunity for undergraduate students through the Office of PittServes and the Office of Engagement and Community Affairs. Civic Action Fellows commit to working with community-based, non-profit organizations to advance community interests through project-based partnerships in either Hazelwood, Homewood, The Hill District or Oakland.
The mission of the program is to build and sustain long-term place-based partnerships between the University and community stakeholders, develop strong partnerships with community organizations, enhance capacity of organizations, inform students on methods to ethically and responsibly engage with the community, and develop student’s professional skill set.
