Ohio Wesleyan Students Serve Others during Spring Break

Nearly 30 Ohio Wesleyan University students traveled to four sites in the United States and Mexico to complete learning and service experiences as part of OWU's 2019 Spring Break Interfaith Service Week.

During their trips, the teams were guided by the program's "essential pillars" of restorative justice, transformative reflection, substantive community, and conscientious leadership.

The students and their faculty-staff advisers traveled to the Lakota Nation in South Dakota to help rebuild Lakota-Anglo relationships and support Native American youth; to New York City to explore the intersection of gender, sexuality, and poverty; to Mexico to examine the economics of social responsibility and sustainable practices; and to Washington, D.C., to explore the many facets of power and poverty.

Congratulations to all involved for a successful week of life-changing learning and service!
