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.
