About GSI
The Center for Social Development (CSD) at Washington University and Innovations in Civic Participation (ICP) in Washington, DC partner to operate the Global Service Institute (GSI). Funded through a multi-year grant from the Ford Foundation, GSI was founded as a long-term project to study, inform, and assist in the development of civic service worldwide. GSI is committed to increasing the understanding of service by supporting and disseminating research and information, assisting governments and nonprofit organizations around the world to design and implement innovative service programs and policies based on best practices, and building a global information network.
About the GSI Information Network
The GSI Information network is comprised of organizations around the globe that participate in collecting, maintaining, and sharing information about civic service.
The primary goals of the GSI information network are to:
- Provide a structured mechanism for accessing service information globally;
- Stimulate the expansion of information on service;
- Facilitate communication among those interested in service; and
- Promote service as a research, policy and program agenda.
The GSI Network contains a broad array of information from a variety of organizations with diversity in geographic representation, language, and age of participants (from youth service to elder service.) The network offers research tools such as databases, bibliographies, and surveys; and policy and program documents such as policy updates, program descriptions, and program implementation guides.
