Long-Term Opportunities
Days of Service
Days of Service is an ongoing group service outreach to the Indianapolis community. First Day of Service: Incoming freshman and new students are encouraged to come and serve the local community together then participate in small group reflection.
Immersive Domestic and Global Outreaches
Offered during semester breaks in the spring, fall, and in the month of May, Alternative Breaks give students the chance to serve those in need in the U.S. and abroad while experiencing immersion in a different culture. Led by Marian's student Alternative Break board and accompanied by faculty advisors, teams travel to domestic regions like Appalachia, New Mexico, and abroad to South American countries like Guatemala.
These service trips introduce students to pressing social issues and equip them for transformational leadership roles at home and abroad.
Career Experience Through Volunteerism
The Post Graduate Service Fair is for students of all ages and all majors who have a career path in mind and want relevant experience while serving. At the fair, students have the chance to meet and connect with representatives of volunteer programs. Joining volunteer organizations is an experience that can change people for life.
