Community engaged learning courses give students and faculty the opportunity to deploy the concepts and content introduced in the classroom in the complex and dynamic places and spaces we share in the Bronx and Manhattan. Courses are often interdisciplinary, combining art and social science, ecology and history, marketing and natural science, and more. Click here for additional information!
GO! (Global Outreach)
Global Outreach (GO!) is a service and cultural immersion program rooted in social justice awareness and community engagement. Global Outreach projects are driven by Fordham’s Jesuit mission of cultivating diverse leaders in a global society.
GO! Projects allow you to directly connect with communities in the United States and around the world while learning about systems of inequality and focusing on anti-oppression and anti-racism work.
GO! Projects run on three cycles: Winter, Spring, and Summer. Each project is led by a team leader and has ten spots for participants. In addition to the team leader, teams will be accompanied by a project chaperone. Over the course of the semester, you will undergo a sustained formation process prior to immersion, co-created by CCEL staff and the global community partner. This formation will lend to holistic spiritual, academic, and ethical learning as well as building relationships with your teammates.
