Education for Action, initiated in 1966 with a grant from the Ford Foundation, is unique among the social programs at Harvard and Radcliffe in that it combines action-oriented education with community work and other forms of public service. It is run by a multi-cultural student board with the assistance of a program coordinator and is a meeting-place for socially-concerned students. It provides information, counseling, and funds for students to do research on, or participate in, social action projects.
