GlobalServe Co-op

Chicago, Illinois,

United States

We are an interfaith, intercultural, radical welcoming and peace-building community of students and friends who want to be involved in our neighborhood through volunteer service. We are in the heart of Hyde Park and Woodlawn, currently in two buildings, and our goal is to expand the space in which mutually respectful dialogue and volunteer service can take place. We are conveniently located by public transit to downtown and other campuses in the city. Find more information on our blog. Join us!
