Community Service Committee
AKA CommServe
Are you interested in doing direct service involving not only Filipino issues but also the surrounding community with a group of awesome people? In addition to continuing our efforts to cultivate these relationships with community organizations like PAWIS (Pilipino Association of Workers and Immigrants), we also aim to engage in direct service within the surrounding communities. This includes collaborating with Challah for Hunger, SPOON (cooking breakfast for the Opportunity Center), the Haas Center, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the Asian American Donor Program, and more! CommServe also organizes events like Mano Po, a program to honor Filipino veterans, and the annual CommServe/Kababayan environmental justice dinner to raise awareness and funds for indigenous communities in Mindanao. By mobilizing the greater Stanford community to reach out to the underserved, with a special focus on our Filipino brothers and sisters, we celebrate the spirit of bayanihan that is endemic to the Filipino heritage. Join CommSwerve! You'll make a difference and have a blast!
CommServe Co-Chairs
Nathaniel Chen
Hello! I'm Nathaniel, and I'm proud to be one of the CommServe co-chairs this year. I was born in Modesto, California, but I've lived in Stockton for most of my life. Joining PASU my freshman year was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and it was my first opportunity to really connect with my Filipino identity. Service has always been an important part of my identity, and I’m grateful that I’ll be able to continue it at Stanford. In my free time I enjoy playing the saxophone, gaming, binge watching Youtube, and as I recently discovered, cooking. I’m super excited to meet all of the new members of PASU and welcome them into the community.
