Step fully into a subject area that you're interested in, whether that is disaster relief, immigration, urban ministry or restorative justice. Delve into a community for a week and come back changed.
Pick from one of many places to serve such as Boston, Mississippi, Alabama or even right here in Grand Rapids. You will travel with student leaders, faculty or staff mentors and other students. The trips incorporate a service component, outings to discover the community, and group reflection time. These trips are just as much about learning as they are about serving, so come ready to be transformed by the people you're going to serve.
