Moreau Center for Service and Justice
Explore Leadership, Experience Immersion, & Engage in Your Community.
At the Moreau Center, our core commitments of solidarity, social justice, reflection, and community are all about finding common ground through serving the common good. Our dedicated staff is here to help you find opportunities where you can engage meaningfully with your community.
Experience Immersion
Our Social Justice Immersion programs are opportunities to fully engage in critical social issues through visits to diverse communities throughout the United States. Choose from trips that last from 3 days up to 2 weeks, where you'll form authentic connections with communities while you expand your own understanding of the possibilities for social change.
Engage Service
Whether you're looking for a one time volunteer opportunity or an ongoing commitment to a specific population—you can even volunteer with friends from your residence hall—we are here to help you find a program that inspires you.
Plunge Into Your Neighborhood Pre-Orientation Program
The Plunge is a 3 day pre-orientation program for first year and transfer students and a great way to make new friends while you get to know the North Portland neighborhoods through service.
