There are many opportunities for long term service, both domestic and abroad, upon graduating from Saint Anselm. Since 2010 we have had over 145 alumni do a year of service with over 35 programs.

There are also great opportunities for short term or summer service through many wonderful agencies.

Reach out to Campus Minister Joycelin Raho to talk more about Post Grad Service opportunities!

Serving in a post-graduate volunteer program after Saint Anselm can be a meaningful way to serve in marginalized communities and engage questions of social justice and solidarity.

There are over 200 secular and faith-based service organizations to choose from, so we recommend spending time researching and speaking with friends and mentors about your desire for service.

For assistance with your discernment Process, reach out to:

Why have Saint Anselm graduates chosen to dedicate a year (or two!) of their lives after graduation to service? Some of the many reasons why students feel a call to service include:

  • Experience during college on a Service and Solidarity trip, Road for Hope, Meelia Center local service or Urban Immersion
  • Openness to encountering different cultures
  • Desire to live out their faith
  • Desire to live in a community
  • Willingness to place oneself at the margins of society
  • Recognition of benefits (graduate student scholarships, real-life experience in a supportive setting, travel)

Service areas, benefits, housing accommodations, and loan deferment, and a variety of other benefits are different for every program. Curious about this process and what a year of service could look like for you? Would meeting with a former volunteer or missioner help you in the process? 

If you, a student you work with, a friend, or anyone you know is considering post graduate service, please reach out to
Please email Joycelin Raho at jraho@anselm.edu
