Immersion projects are two-week, intensive service-learning projects in the U.S. and abroad that offer students deep involvement with a social-service cause or organization.
The projects involve students in volunteer activities and build strong relationships between Gettysburg students and the members of the communities where the projects take place. At the end of the projects, students take the opportunity to do structured reflections on what the experience meant to them.
Current and past projects include:
- Exploring the Civil Rights movement in Alabama
- American Indian living at the San Carlos (Arizona) Apache reservation
- Community development in Léon, Nicaragua
- Health care (including health care for the homeless)
- Gulf Coast Rebuilding Project
- Explore Mexican culture, economy and the effects of migration from a Mexican perspective
- Poverty and Public Policy - assist people who are homeless, hungry, and/or ill in the nation's capital
