Charlottesville City Program

The city of Charlottesville is frequently listed among the top places to live in America, yet great disparities exist within its limits. This project takes students less than two miles from campus to learn from residents and local ministries about the experience of people on the margins around them. As they listen and serve, students are invited to see God at work, spreading his kingdom in the city and in their own hearts and minds. They have the opportunity to commit to continue to engage locally throughout the school year or in the places they move after graduation. The project also provides a space for students from the four chapters of InterVarsity at UVA to build deeper relationships as they work together.
