As described on the "community service programs" website:
At Stanford we understand the value of connecting our academic mission with public service. Students, faculty and staff are actively involved in a variety of public and community service initiatives. Their involvement is through established programs in academic departments as well as the ethnic/cultural centers on campus. Such activities range from raising donations for hurricane victims to tutoring young elementary school children to creating a high school in a local community. Links to the many and varied community services activities and programs at Stanford are provided below.

In addition, Stanford's Land, Buildings, and Real Estate (LBRE) organization participates annually in National Rebuilding Day with Rebuilding Together Peninsula (the organization also serves as a "city builder" partner). Individual participation in this annual effort is strongly encouraged for both professional and bargaining-unit staff. All participating staff members are recognized and celebrated at an annual LBRE all-hands meeting.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The total number of students includes both graduate and undergraduate students. The total number of students involved in community service and corresponding hours during a one-year period is an estimate, which is drawn from Stanford's submission for the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. The survey does not provide detailed guidance or a definition for what constitutes "community service", and Stanford University does not track this data centrally. The definition provided, (i.e., "activities designed to improve the quality of life of off-campus community residents, particularly low-income individuals") is extremely broad.
