Ignacio Volunteer Programs
Immersion programs rooted in spirituality and service.
Ignacio Volunteers offers a number of international and domestic immersion programs for the Loyola University New Orleans community.
Participants in all service trips travel as one community. Participants are chosen a few months before the trip and meet regularly in advance of the actual travel. The trip is rooted in an Ignatian spiritual foundation of finding God in all things and includes ongoing spiritual reflection within the community and on the trip itself. Fundraising for the trip is done by the group and as individuals.
Goals
- TO SERVE: Participants will work with those of the greatest need -- the impoverished & challenged, the disadvantaged young and the elderly.
- TO LEARN: Participants will have an opportunity to explore the political, sociological, and economic issues that have created the environment and situation in which they will find themselves.
