Mission

 

The mission of Dwight Hall at Yale is to nurture and inspire students as leaders of social change and to advance justice and service in New Haven and around the world. 

Dwight Hall, a not-for-profit organization independent of Yale, was founded by undergraduates in 1886 and has operated continuously since then as a student-initiated service organization. As the Center for Public Service and Social Justice, Dwight Hall reflects a diverse Yale student body and a strong history of social justice work in New Haven and beyond. Whether through feeding the hungry, fighting for civil rights, defending the most vulnerable residents, or tutoring and mentoring countless New Haven public school students, Dwight Hall has been a physical link between Yale students and the communities outside of campus and has stood as a model of how college students should engage with the world.

Dwight Hall encourages and nurtures student service and justice initiatives, by guiding and supporting the creation of new organizations tackling urgent and emerging issues or by strengthening and building the capacity of existing student groups. In this way, the needs of New Haven and communities beyond the city are served, while students acquire valuable skills and hands-on experience that they will apply to their work after graduation. Through their participation in Dwight Hall activities, students come to realize that service and justice are not so much about doing and fixing but rather about learning, sharing, engaging, and building community. Dwight Hall's organizations, fellowships, and resources support the transformation of students into agents of social change.
 
Dwight Hall's envisioned future is to be universally known as a model for forging, convening, and nurturing student leadership in service, justice, and social change. activists from the New Haven community.

Background

Dwight Hall has inspired Yale students to serve and transform the world for more than 128 years.  Founded as the Young Men’s Christian Association at Yale in 1886, Dwight Hall has evolved into a secular and inclusive institution where connections can be forged and cultivated with the New Haven community.  While Dwight Hall has changed significantly since the end of the 19th century, the fundamental concerns for social service and action, which brought the Hall into existence, continue today.  

Historically, Dwight Hall has been an incubator for social justice and provides students with resources and networks for social action. In the 1930s, Dwight Hall students organized annual "peace strikes" to demonstrate their commitment to pacifism. Numerous Dwight Hall students were conscientious objectors in WWI and WWII. Alumnus David Dellinger inspired generations of activists from the late 1930s until his death.

During the 1950s and 60s, Dwight Hall advocated for the Civil Rights movement in the South while participating in the freedom rides, sit-ins, and marches. The University Chaplain at the time, William Sloane Coffin, collaborated closely with Dwight Hall to organize these activities. Dwight Hall served as the central location for East Coast student activists participating in freedom rides. Students from several universities would board buses on Friday afternoon and return on Sunday night.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dwight Hall students were vociferously active in the anti-Vietnam movement. In 1970, Dwight Hall served as a neutral space where both Black Panthers and FBI could gather to discuss and negotiate.

In the 1980s, Dwight Hall continued to be a hub of activism. Many students advocated against apartheid in South Africa and supported the environmental movement. In the 1990s, the Student Labor Action Coalition supported local efforts to negotiate a fair contract with Yale, numerous student organizations formed the Student Coalition Rallying Against Proposition 187 (SCRAP 187), United Farm Workers at Yale successfully petitioned to ban California table grapes from Yale University dining halls in order to improve the plight of the farm workers, and the Yale Hunger and Homeless Action Project helped get the New Haven Living Wage bill passed.

Currently Dwight Hall supports over 90 service programs and fellowships while fostering coordinate efforts with New Haven organizations with similar missions.. Many of New Haven's non-profit organizations - including Columbus House, New Haven Home Recovery, Marrakech, and Haven Free Clinic - were developed with key support from Dwight Hall Summer Fellowship projects. Dwight Hall alumni have also created national organizations - such as Jumpstart, College Summit, Peer Health Exchange, Unite for Sight, and Mercado Global - that were either launched from their Dwight Hall projects or grew out of their service experiences as student leaders.
Impact

Dwight Hall supports over 90 student-led service groups and fellowships which contribute over 150,000 hours of direct service and advocacy each year. The efforts of these volunteers impact 20,000 people in the State of Connecticut alone. Listed below are examples that demonstrate the range of our service programming.

  • The Education Network promotes positive youth development through groups like Yale Children’s Theater, which produced 4 plays and a workshop series to encourage confidence and self-expression last year.
  • The International Network inspires thoughtful and responsible service abroad and advocacy at home. For example, Uganda Hope Network collaborates with Hope for African Children and Cosma Foundation to impact the lives of 150 households.
  • The Public Health Network enhances community outcomes through awareness, service, and collaboration as exemplified by Hypertension Awareness and Prevention Program at Yale (HAPPY), which regularly provides free screenings to New Haven residents.
  • The Social Justice Network builds coalitions between groups advancing human rights, enabling member groups like Elmseed Enterprise Fund to provide over 30 small, low-interest loans totaling $70,000 to local entrepreneurs.
  • Fellowships promote intensive, community-based service experiences for students, such as the Public School Interns who collaborate with 12 New Haven Public Schools for academic engagement and enrichment services.
  • Co-Op After School (CAS). Over 375 students participated in the 2014-2015 academic year in nearly 50 courses in academic enrichment, personal development, community service, or the arts.
  • Socially Responsible Investment Fund (SRI). Students invest a portion of Dwight Hall’s reserve funds in local community banks and publicly traded companies committed to sound environmental, labor, and governance policies, yielding positive economic and social returns.
Needs

Unrestricted contributions to Dwight Hall support the the following organizational needs:

1) Resources for student-initiated service and advocacy projects. Dwight Hall provides member organizations with funds to implement their programs, access vehicles and bus passes to transport volunteers, and supplies to coordinate their efforts.
 
2) Leadership Development to improve program quality. Dwight Hall engages leaders in the Greater New Haven community and a global network of alumni to conduct training and workshops. It coaches and mentors student leaders to recognize community assets, support issues that are identified by the community, design and implement a theory of change, evaluate impact, and plan for successful transitions.
 
3) Resources to activate a Social Innovation Laboratory. Dwight Hall enables experimentation and collaboration as a Social Innovation Laboratory. The Lab provides a forum for students to bring forth their ideas for social change, equips them with tools and resources, and connects them with experts for feedback and guidance.
 
4) Strengthened relationships and collaboration between students, Dwight Hall, and New Haven community agencies through Fellowship programs.
 
5) Marketing and Communication improvements.
CEO Statement Ultimately, Dwight Hall recognizes that long-term solutions to the world's problems come from focusing on developing passionate innovative leaders. Dwight Hall promotes a culture of action and reflection that encourages student leaders to share best practices, learn from successful leaders, and collaborate on solving societal challenges. Dwight Hall believes that the best way to achieve long-term solutions is to apply the energy and talents of students towards needs and opportunities in their immediate New Haven community. By actively engaging students as residents of New Haven, Dwight Hall nurtures meaningful involvement that is respectfully aligned with the community's own vision for social change.

Teachers will often report that students are less likely to miss school on days that they have a CAS class. Teachers will also note that students involved in CAS are so committed to it because it gives them a chance to study something outside of their chosen major.

CAS was highlighted as an example of the positive benefits of after school programs. CAS engages students positively in their school community instead of unhealthy or negative experiences. It also places a high priority on academics; students are encouraged to use After School time to meet with their teachers even if that means they miss part of their course. Their academic success comes first. 

CAS employs Co-op high school teachers, but also works with a wide network of Yale students who teach courses on screenwriting, philosophy, and poetry, among other things. CAS students will often remark that they like having the opportunity to learn from college students because they aspire to be like them.

Examples of Program SuccessHelpOrganization's site specific examples of changes in clients' behaviors or testimonies of client's changes to demonstrate program success.

 

  1. To expand higher education access, CAS offers a college prep course to sophomores and juniors. Juniors are guided through the process individually by one of Co-op's guidance counselors.  The course is open to non-CAS students to drop in because this is the type of information that we want all students to have access to.
  2. The SLAM poetry course was taght by Co-op’s own students who cultivated the idea from an end-of-program evaluation.
  3. A young student who just returned from maternity leave enrolled in the CAS culinary course where students learn how to shop for nutritious food on a budget, follow recipes, and create their own meals. She shared her appreciation of the open welcome CAS gave her upon her return and noted how she values this culinary knowledge for herself and development of her child.
  4. At the end of the Fall semester, students with 90% attendance or higher were participated in an attendance-incentive party. Over 75 students attended.

Dwight Hall collaborates closely with community-based organizations to ensure that its student-run member organizations meet articulated needs in the New Haven community. Member organizations are required to specify a host community agency during the membership application process and evaluate progress towards their goals in conjunction with these agencies.
 
In its Fellowship programs Dwight Hall requires students to identify a supervising official at their respective placement's host agencies to ensure that students are meeting the needs of organizations.  Dwight Hall also requests that host agencies provide supervision and development opportunities to Fellows and to confirm that the goals of Fellows meet organizational and community needs.
