Get Involved
There are several opportunities for you to become involved in service on a short-term basis. These opportunities can be a good introduction to service, are an excellent way to learn more about the needs of our community, and might be easier to fit into your busy schedule than a long-term commitment. Check out the following projects offered through the Center:
HIV/AIDS Service Immersion
The goal of this weekend immersion is to further
students understanding of the pandemic of HIV/
AIDS and how it is currently effecting Milwaukee.
We will explore the issues around HIV/AIDS such
as education, discrimination, health care, and
the social implications it brings. We will enter
into discussions and participate in service with
individuals both infected and affected by the virus.
We will reflect on our individual and collective
roles in helping to fight the spread of this virus.
This experience is open to all students at Marquette
University. Information and application materials are forthcoming.
Freshmen Service Project
Join your classmates for this annual weekend service
immersion experience. Through service activities
and
discussions, these overnight projects examine poverty
and the people and agencies combating it in Milwaukee.

organizations and more. In addition, students raise
money to support the work of community agencies
in the greater Milwaukee area.
