For all UDM students, University Ministry is hosting a Service Immersion trip during Detroit Mercy’s spring break from March 1-8 in Montgomery, Ala.
The trip offers an opportunity to encounter a community outside of your own, offer your gifts and friendship in service and solidarity and immerse yourself in education on the critical issues of our day—in this case the Civil Rights movement!
This trip is designed both to learn from the rich history of the area, visiting renowned museums and historical sites. It also includes engaging in current-day civil rights issues around racism, voting access, and even joining a historical rally crossing the Selma bridge.
The cost for the trip is $400, which covers lodging, food, transportation, museum tickets and all programming. The total cost per person is higher, but University Ministry covers the rest. Scholarships are also available. We do not want cost to be the obstacle to your participation. Reach out to Samantha Eckrich at seckric@udmercy.edu to request a scholarship application.
The application deadline is Jan. 10 with an initial deposit of $100. The remaining cost is due one week before the start of the trip.
