Monterey: Homelessness with a Spiritual Bent

University of Southern California - CA, California

Sponsored by the University’s Volunteer Center, the Monterey program enables students to do service work in an off-campus setting. What sets the Monterey trip apart is its spiritual component, which encourages participants to reflect on the implications and meaning of their experience. The program creates an atmosphere in which people of diverse religious backgrounds feel comfortable sharing their spiritual questions.

Our commitment is grounded in the notion that higher education's purpose is inextricably linked to the public good. That at its best higher education creates an opportunity to develop global citizen leaders. Pennsylvania Campus Compact is a vibrant organization that offers resources and support to campuses who share this commitment."
