Rostro de Cristo Experience in Ecuador

During this eight-day experience students learn what it is like to live a lifestyle similar to the Ecuadorian people in Duran, most of whom live on less than $2 a day. Students also spend time visiting with families, community organizations, and after-school programs. Students live in solidarity with their neighbors in a faith-based community with evening reflections on the experiences of the day.

Project Appalachia in West Virginia
The Project Appalachia Immersion Experience to West Virginia brings students together to understand the effects of poverty while living and working in the community.

Students live, work, and bond together and form lasting friendships. Participants come together in the evenings to reflect on what they have experienced. Students are encouraged to relate their faith to the experience of those in West Virginia. Service opportunities vary depending on need and could include demolition, drywall, or flooring.
