Morgridge Center for Public Service

The Morgridge Center for Public Service is a university community engagement center. It connects University of Wisconsin - Madison students, faculty and staff with local and global communities through service and learning. Students can join Badger Volunteers, find one-time service opportunities, take community-based learning classes and apply for a Wisconsin Idea Fellowship. Faculty can teach community-based courses, pursue community-engaged research, connect with partners and seek grants. Community organizations can recruit student volunteers, connect with faculty expertise and access university resources. The center also supports partnerships that address critical issues and provides workshops related to community-based learning and fellowship applications. Founded in 1996, it works in the spirit of the Wisconsin Idea, emphasizing reciprocal relationships with community partners.
