University of Portland’s Moreau Center for Service & Justice was honored by the Catholic Volunteer Network as one of their “Top Schools for Service.” In honor of National Volunteer Week, the Catholic Volunteer Network put together a list of schools who “demonstrated consistent excellence in collaborating with our network and championing post-grad service among students.” The University of Portland’s Moreau Center for Service & Justice was honored in the “West & Southwest Region” along with centers from Loyola Marymount University and St. Mary’s University.

“We’re very honored to receive this recognition from Catholic Volunteer Network. It is really an affirmation of our amazing students who consistently seek opportunities to continue to grow in their understanding of solidarity and commitment to justice through a year or more of intentional service,” Laurie Laird, director of the Moreau Center for Service & Justice, said. “We are so proud of our students who choose this path after graduation and live out UP’s mission to prepare students to respond to the needs of the world and its human family.”

The Moreau Center for Service & Justice engages students with active learning, mutually beneficial service, and experience-based leadership development rooted in Catholic social teaching. The center, named for Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C., founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, offers opportunities for students to engage meaningfully with the community through service, immersions, and advocacy.
