Testimony
"The Plunge was a great introduction to all the UP has to offer. Between the hours spent gardening, working with local nonprofits, and holding late night dance sessions with the SJCs, the few days spent on the Plunge were some of the most memorable of my first year of college. I met some of my great friends that week, and it got me motivated to be involved with the Moreau Center in the future, too." -Chloe Cobos, 2022 PIYN participant, Campus Volunteer Coordinator for L'Arche
The Participation Fee for The Plunge is $80. This includes 3 days and 2 evenings; all meals and snacks; and all activities, community engagement activities, and excursions.
We believe ability to pay the participation fee should not be a barrier to experiencing this unique opportunity. Generous donors who believe in the power of community engagement have made financial aid scholarships available for those for whom the participation fee is a financial hardship.
