Each year, during both winter and spring breaks, groups of approximately 15 students and staff travel out of state in order to spend a week serving others. These trips are often run in conjunction with organizations like Habitat for Humanity or Vacations That Give. Whether serving through manual labor or by fostering relationships with the local community members, students always return feeling a sense of accomplishment and pride from taking the opportunity to make a positive impact on another person’s life.

In order to be considered for a trip, participants must be willing to commit to a financial contribution of $200, fundraising efforts, and weekly meetings leading up to their trip.

Applications are usually available by late September. Contact Melissa LaNeve at (508) 849-3205 or by e-mail at mlaneve@annamria.edu for more information.
