At Messiah, we want to equip students to “learn by doing.” The Agapé Center for Local & Global Engagement is the place students come on campus to seek experiences off campus. Our Center helps students to engage in diverse learning experiences through service and travel. Students can choose to stay local or go abroad. Whatever experience you say “yes” to at Messiah, we have no doubt it will be life-changing.
Contact our office if you want to learn how you can put your faith in action through service or step outside your comfort zone, applying your academics to new contexts through study away programs. We can’t wait to see where you GO!
