The Wartburg College Service Trips program recognizes that service trips are most successful if the impact of the experience reaches beyond the week of direct service. Given that, our goal is that participants will share what they have learned with others and be inspired to work towards social action in their own communities upon their return. Our intent is that students’ personal investment in their service projects (through research, hands-on experience and reflection) will transform their thinking and create a life-long commitment to service and the public good. By keeping service trips student-centered and directed, participants become actively involved in the entire process.
During Tour Week, students will travel to Utah, Tennessee, Georgia, and Texas. See below for more information.
