Heart Of Mercy Experience
Misericordia's Heart of Mercy service experience has three options (summer, 6-month, and year-long) for young adults from across the country that will allow them to share their lives with our I/DD population of children and adults in a community setting. Service members live in community in the Driskill Residence, near the main campus, and assist residents on campus with a variety of activities of daily living (personal care needs, meal prep, etc.), as well as with programs that focus on elements of life integral to personal happiness and well-being. These include employment/workshops, education, residential placements, health and wellness activities, spirituality, therapy, and social/recreational outings. Our goal is that the lives of both volunteer and resident will be enriched as a result of their shared time and efforts.
