Mission
At Dwight Hall, we believe in change. We believe that change is possible and worth fighting for. And in these uncertain times, we believe change has never been more important. That is why we do everything we can to make social change a reality, and why we are dedicated to shaping those who will one day shape the world.

Founded by undergraduates in 1886, Dwight Hall at Yale is an independent, social-profit organization whose mission is to nurture and inspire students as leaders of social change and to advance justice and service in New Haven and around the world. As the Center for Public Service and Social Justice, Dwight Hall's values include a commitment to the common good, compassion, diversity, growth and learning, partnership, critical reflection, and student initiative.

Membership Benefits
Thousands of Yale volunteers are trained to bring a community-centered approach to their service through 70+ student-led member groups and more than 150 individual fellowship and experiential learning opportunities that engage approximately two thirds of the student body each year in service and social justice activities, and promote community-based learning, innovative programming, best practices, and collaborative communication.

Dwight Hall at Yale uses data generated through YaleConnect to track memberships, events, and event registration/attendance. We use data for data for event/volunteer management, program improvement, and for employee verification purposes. Under no circumstances will Dwight Hall share data with any outside parties.
