Service Trips

Service Trips give you the opportunity to serve where genuine need exists in another area of our country. You'll gain first-hand perspective of the rich cultural diversity of our country and its people while building relationships with fellow volunteers and people at the service site. Service trips open your eyes and expand your horizons, giving you a new perspective to bring home. To participate or for more information, contact Brooke Oehme at boehme@mtmercy.edu.

Upcoming Service Trips

Alternative Spring Break – Chicago, IL. March 23-31
This urban immersion service trip will focus on working closely with an impoverished community.  Participants will get the chance to serve through a mobile soup kitchen, free medical clinic and youth sports programs.  We will look closely at what is being done to help impoverished people close to home, and discuss what more still needs to be done.

End of the Year Trip – New Orleans, LA.  May – 21-27
Furthering our commitment to work in New Orleans to address problems that began with Katrina, this trip will allow students, faculty and alumni a unique cultural experience.  From construction projects and medical care to cultural exploration and arts education, this service experience will be one you will not likely forget.
