“The immersive service trip to Atlanta was an amazing way to meet new people from new places and understand the lived experiences of people outside of my own local environment” -Ryan Coleman, 2023 participant.
The Immersive Service program at UNCW provides students with the opportunity to visit a new community, explore specific social issues, learn from and serve with individuals from their host site as well as their peers, and engage in various forms of direct service.
Trips are typically a week-long, taking place during Spring Break. Participation is open to any UNCW student. The cost of each trip varies depending on location, length of trip, etc. For each trip, students will attend pre-trip meetings, the trip itself, and then a follow-up meeting.
Past Immersive Service sites include Atlanta, Asheville, and New Orleans. We have even had one in Wilmington!
Additional information on any upcoming immersive service trips can be found on GivePulse.
