Community Outreach
Service Opportunities
Service has been a prized charism at Misericordia University since our formation in 1924. Students, staff, and faculty alike are known to involve themselves in projects throughout the Back Mountain area as well as abroad. Misericordia's history has a rich foundation of service to others and has a common thread through each of our graduates. We do this by fostering a passion for social justice issues that enable our students to be advocates on behalf of those who are poor and oppressed.
Many service-related programs and ministries are done in collaboration with the Leadership Team. Learn more about the Office for Mission, Ministry and Service.
Featured Service Programs
McGlynn Center Kids Days
Children from the McGlynn Center come to campus for activities and a day of fun on Veterans Day or Presidents' Day. Students engage the children in activities and help serve lunch.
Momma Bird Coat Drive for Families
Each November, student groups, clubs, and organizations donate gloves, scarves, and hats to families in need. The local nonprofit Momma Bird collects and distributes these items.
Days of Service Program
Students spend a few hours packing personal hygiene products, supporting Momma Bird's winter clothing drive for local families, or participating in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service event on campus.
Service with the Sisters
Students, faculty, and staff spend a Saturday morning in the fall and spring doing an outdoor clean-up at the Pines apartments and enjoy lunch with the Sisters of Mercy who live there.
Mercy Leaders Scholarship Program
The Mercy Leaders Program recognizes, trains, and supports students who are civically engaged. A select group of students pledge to complete 150 hours of service in one calendar year and, in exchange for that commitment, receive leadership training, support from staff and fellow Mercy Leaders, and participate in ongoing supervision and reflection activities. Students who enroll in this program and successfully complete the 200 hours of service will receive an award of $1,000 to be applied to their tuition.
