University Ministry

Outreach

Outreach provides the Lewis University community with diverse service opportunities in an effort to respond to the Gospel's call to actively live out a faith that promotes service, peace, and social justice.

Why should you volunteer?

To know the blessing of giving
To meet new people and develop new friendships
To increase public awareness on issues of poverty and homelessness
To work for peace and social justice
To meet new challenges
To share your energy, enthusiasm, and dreams for a better world
To become the answer to someone's prayer
To set an example of our civil responsibility to help the less fortunate
To answer God's call in your life
