  Community Service Opportunities

  The encourages students to learn in ways that are deeply-rooted in the University's Jesuit and Mercy traditions. This includes a call to live productive, effective lives that are inspired by an attentive connection with the world. The Institute provides students with opportunities to serve in the community and strengthen their sense of giftedness and mission.

  The Institute's learning model is Kolb's Learning Cycle that not only engages students in real-world experience and reflection, but in social analysis and opportunities to try to make changes in society while learning from the effort. Three Institute programs provide these opportunities: Service-Learning, Leadership-in-Service, and Learning for a Change.

  Many of the courses at Detroit Mercy have service as an integral part of the course. We have come to call these courses with a service-component, "Service Learning". Sometimes the service element is introduced as a way for the students to apply the knowledge they are learning in the course. At other times it provides a personal experience that sheds light on other things they are learning. At all times it provides an opportunity to learn as well as serve, and it allows students to take a more active role in the mission of Detroit Mercy.

  The co-curricular Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is designed to educate, engage, and empower all Detroit Mercy students. Using the "Social Change Model," the ELP offers you the opportunity to explore your leadership potential and abilities through involvement in programs, events, and activities that include learning, leadership, spirituality, and service, on and off campus. All Detroit Mercy students have the chance to experience and live the Detroit Mercy Mission. As you do so, you will be involved in community engagement and learn to exhibit leadership for the common good. Those students who choose to intentionally develop their leadership capacity will be recognized by earning a Leadership Pin and Medallion.

  The Leadership-in-Service Program provides students with several "Tracks" to combine direct community service with reflection and leadership skill development. By leading a social change program in their final year, Medallion winners leave Detroit Mercy not only with the requisite skills to lead, but the personal experiences that both inspire service and provide leadership experience in the company of other servant-leaders. Tracks include a two-year, campus-based program followed by a year of service leadership in a partner agency or community change project.

  Learning for a Change (LFAC) invites students and other members of the University to join with community partners in increasing the public and political will to end injustices through sustainable strategies for change. The first program in the series, the Shelter & Home Initiative (SHI), applies the LFAC model of focus, collaboration, real service, and real learning to the problem of homelessness. SHI provides Homelessness Service Opportunities, Homeless Exhibit Fairs, evening Social Analysis Seminars, and a closing Advocacy Partnership Engagement Workshop to provide students and others with ways of engaging in real change by joining those already working effectively in society.

  Viewpoints and Plunge Weekend Service Projects are group projects in late summer and on Saturdays in fall and winter that are planned and coordinated by The Institute. The Institute also supports and encourages Alternative Spring Break, Hunger Week, the Student Volunteer Center, and other service programs coordinated by other Detroit Mercy offices.

  Details on these and other Institute programs and services are available at or call 313-993-2003.
