Immersive Service

Are you interested in immersing yourself in a new community and doing some hands-on volunteering? We’ve got you covered!

 “The immersive break trip is an opportunity to be exposed to different perspectives, develop new friendships, discover more about what you are passionate about, and elevate your life by making someone else feel valued and seen as a human. Taking part is an act of courage and selflessness, and it will change their life!”

— Program participant

Make an Impact Beyond Campus

The Immersive Service program at UNCW provides students with the opportunity to engage in various forms of direct service and to explore a new community while learning from — and serving with — individuals from their host site and their peers.

Serve, Learn & Connect

Trips are typically a week long and take place during Spring Break. Each experience includes pre-trip meetings, the service trip and a follow-up meeting to reflect on the experience.

Participation is open to all UNCW students, with trip costs varying based on the destination, length and other factors.

Where Could Service Take You?

Past Immersive Service experiences have taken students to Atlanta, Asheville and New Orleans, with opportunities right here in Wilmington too!

Ready to Learn More?

Upcoming Immersive Service trips are typically posted on Engage UNCW in December.
