Learn more about your impact
With your support, Spirit of Service Scholars engage in a yearlong, cross-disciplinary curriculum with national and international scholars. They learn leadership skills, demographic and economic literacy and cultural competency, and gain an understanding of environmental issues, health care challenges and entrepreneurship. Scholars also participate in community service projects.
As a Spirit of Service Scholar, I was provided with focused mentorship in my goals of a career in law, and I was able to explore various paths to contribute to public service. I would not be where I am today without the support of the Pastor Center. It helped me hone in on my passion for public service and led me to pursue a law degree to practice in public interest."
