Biographical/Historical Sketch
The Stanford Volunteer Network was founded in 1983 to promote public service activities
among Stanford faculty, staff, and students. The Network became one of the founding student
groups of the Public Service Center, officially established by the University in 1985. In
1989, the Haas family of San Francisco donated $5 million to Stanford University to endow
the Public Service Center, which was renamed the Haas Center for Public Service.
These records pertain to the administrative affairs of the Center as well as the various
programs sponsored by the Center, including the You Can Made a Difference Conference
(YCMAD), the Student Volunteer Network, the Stanford International Development Organization,
the Stanford Homelessness Action Coalition, Stanford in Government, Stanford Project on
Nutrition, and Volunteers Increasing the Visibility of AIDS . Included are correspondence,
reports, minutes, agenda, memos, notes, lists, programs, audiotapes, and videotapes. Topics
of the YCMAD conferences include hunger, families, racism, the environment, education,
health, national security, and urban change. Also included are mounted photographs and
captions on the history of public service at Stanford that were exhibited during the opening
of the new Haas Center in 1993; and photocopies of minutes and other records from the
