Introducing PASTA HQ
As of Fall 2025, we are introducing a new way we make change with PASTA HQ! PASTA HQ is our new home base for student impact — a flexible, grant-based ecosystem where students turn ideas into action, grow as leaders, and create change on their terms.
It’s built for how students want to work – you choose when, how, and how much. It’s meant to be fun and meaningful – not stressful and another thing to deal with.
About PASTA
Everything we do in Peers and Students Taking Action(PASTA) is driven by our passion for helping kids. We aren’t here to fulfill a volunteer requirement or to rack up more service hours, but to change the way the world cares by expanding the societal boundaries of volunteerism and leading that movement through passion-driven service.
At PASTA, students turn ideas into real projects — backed by grants, guidance, and 12 years of student-run impact. You choose your project, your timeline, and your impact.
Personal Testimony
“PASTA HQ helps me maintain a flexible schedule for volunteering and I also get to create projects based on my interests, working with my own timeline. I can’t wait for another year of PASTA!“
