Check back later for information on the 2013 Intercity Impact trip.
The Impact in Action volunteer date will be announced at the first Impact Training.
What are food deserts? What is organic? Is it possible to eat locally in an urban setting? How can you live more sustainably? Explore these questions and then make an impact during Intercity Impact!
Intercity Impact has two equally important components - Impact Trainings and a weekend service trip.
Impact Trainings are high energy, interactive workshops. There are three 90 minute workshops before the service trip. The purpose of the Impact Trainings is threefold:
-
Get to know the other students who are participating in Intercity Impact
- Explore the root causes of food desserts and how to eat locally in a globalized world.
- Prepare for the service trip
Following the Impact Trainings is a weekend service trip. During the trip we will volunteer with Growing Power and the Urban Ecology Center, learning skills and techniques to live our lives more sustainably. The trip is a blend of hands-on service and educational opportunities.
Intercity Impact is a collaboration between SERVE and Multicultural Affairs.
