Urban Immersion Experience with CVV - Denver, CO

This trip will be an urban immersion service-learning experience where the group will serve at a variety of different organizations in Denver as well as participate in learning experiences focused on homelessness, immigration, urban environmental justice, and community development.  Colorado Vincentian Volunteers (CVV) is a young adult volunteer community of faith and action that responds to the Gospel call in the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul through serving Denver's poor, elderly, homeless, developmentally disabled and troubled youth.

Rebuilding Together New Orleans  is a continuing volunteer effort to improve the quality of life of low income homeowners, particularly those who are elderly, disabled, or single head of households with minor children, through home repair and revitalization of New Orleans' neighborhoods. Since Hurricane Katrina, RTNO has become the biggest home revitalization non-profit organization in New Orleans. Volunteers will be helping to repair houses for homeowners throughout New Orleans.

 While working with Baltimore Catholic Services, Our Daily Bread will be your primary service site. Our Daily bread is a program that serves a daily meal to all those who are in need. Students will help to prepare and serve meals as well as eat with the people who come to Our Daily Bread. Other service sites include: Jenkins Senior Living Community, Sarah's House, Christopher's Place Employment Academy and St. Vincent's center. Students will get the opportunity to work with many different populations and serve in many different ways and experience the diverse cultures of Baltimore.
