Spread the L.O.V.E.
The Lasallian Outreach Volunteer Experience (L.O.V.E.) provides service immersion experiences for Manhattan College students. Group participants examine their own identities and learn about social justice together in preparation for their experience. On the trips, students are immersed in the local community through experiences with partner organizations. Participants are encouraged to bring what they experience back to campus to engage in local service and advocacy. Each trip takes place during school breaks and is based on the five pillars of L.O.V.E.: Community, Service & Social Justice, Spirituality, Simple Living and Cultural Immersion. Learn more about L.O.V.E.
