A Tradition of Service
Through our Mercy tradition, Gwynedd Mercy University is deeply rooted in service to others. These values are reflected in the many volunteer opportunities available to our students.
From weekly service projects across greater Philadelphia to annual alternative spring break trips around the country and globe, you will have a chance to make a difference in communities and the lives of individuals.
