Do Good Institute

The Do Good Institute serves as the catalyst to transform the University of Maryland into the nation's first Do Good Campus, where students are inspired to take action and spur innovations and solutions that tackle today's social issues. The Institute, housed in the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland, provides education, opportunities and resources to develop the next generation of nonprofit leaders, social innovators and civic-minded students. Today's college students are more passionate about social issues than ever before and are looking for ways to get involved and make a difference. As a result, demand for social impact education and experiences is at its highest point in decades, but opportunities to get involved are not widely available on most college campuses. Do Good Institute believes that all students, regardless of their background, field of study or interests, are capable of creating effective change, making a powerful impact and innovating creative solutions to our world's most pressing challenges.
