Welcome To The Moreau Center

The Moreau Center offers University of Portland students the opportunity to serve local, domestic, and international communities while developing the skills, knowledge, and habits to improve the world through hope, compassion and solidarity. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our various opportunities for service and leadership.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES

The Interns for Justice program invites University of Portland students to engage in summer service with local community partners serving underserved and marginalized populations throughout the summer. This opportunity is offered to create space for student engagement in social justice and social change and the opportunity to discern possible careers or further engagement in the field.

Interns for Justice stand in solidarity with the poor and marginalized. They build deep relationships with the people and communities in which they work, critically examine root causes of poverty and injustice, and are encouraged to use the lens of faith while reflecting on their experience.

Find more information about the program, or learn how to apply on our Serve/Learn blog.

Moreau Center to Offer Service Grants For New Service Learning Experience Model- Link UP

Link UP grants will provide support and funding for new collaborative service-learning experiences that offer students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to engage in service and conversation around  local, domestic, and international issues in a context of intentional integrated learning. New Link UP service-learning opportunities will offer a greater opportunity for collaboration between students, staff, and faculty with all aspects of the experience, formation, ideas, and organization, coming from faculty/staff and students themselves.

Like all Moreau Center programs, Link UP service-learning opportunities must have a clear focus on social concern, must identify clear learning outcomes, and incorporate the Moreau Center Core Commitments of direct-service, social justice, community, solidarity, reflection, spiritual exploration and sustainability. Accepted Link UP proposals will receive a Link UP grant of up to 50% of the total program cost, with a maximum grant of $5000.00 in addition to receiving organizational support and advisement from the Moreau Center.
