Alternatives to In-person Trips

We have made the decision to not hold in-person trips this year due to the ongoing pandemic and to ensure the safety of our participants and the communities we partner with, along with the cancellation of our week-long spring break. However, we still want to give students the opportunity to learn about pressing social issues. These are our alternative options: 

• IMPACT Local
  • ​Throughout the spring semester, we will have locally-based, weekend service trips focused on a variety of topics. Although they will be shorter, they will offer participants a chance to learn about social justice and service in Athens and how they can build on that throughout their lives. Check out the trips page to learn about our different trip foci! 
• Roundtable Discussions
  • Throughout the semester, our site leaders will be holding roundtable discussions to discuss pressing social issues. More information will be uploaded soon! 
• Virtual Trips 
  • These online trips will consist of virtual educational opportunities and reflection activities. Information on these will be uploaded onto the trips page as well.

​What is IMPACT?

The mission of the IMPACT program is to engage University of Georgia students in an affordable, substance-free, service-learning experience that facilitates the understanding of pressing social issues in an effort to develop active citizens. It is the goal of the organization to address community needs through direct and indirect service as well as provide students the knowledge of social issues in our own country. By providing new perspectives and hearing the stories of others, participants gain invaluable experiences that bring us together.
