Iona in Mission is a student-led educational service immersion program that can take place over a weekend or up to two weeks for all members of the Iona College community. This unique learning experience breaks down the walls of the classroom and offers students the opportunity to serve those most in need and become immersed in a radically different culture. Iona in Mission provides students with the chance to integrate academia and faith in real life situations while they explore economic, social, political and environmental issues throughout the United States and the developing world. Come see the world and serve on an Iona in Mission project!
