Delta Upsilon Global Service Initiative
The Delta Upsilon Global Service Initiative (GSI) offers members a unique opportunity to engage in direct service while uniting Delta Upsilon competencies and principles with the customs and cultures of the Negril, Jamaica community.
Members travel to, study in and work with this community where social and economic conditions are substandard.
During the global experience, members engage in a variety of cultural, educational, recreational and reflective activities. Participants will roll up their sleeves to build or rebuild in areas of need, teach literacy skills to children, and engage in a dialogue of social justice with other Delta Upsilon members.
The 2010 Global Service Initiative will take place May 15-22, 2010 (8 days) in Negril, Jamaica.
Pricing
$500 per member (includes lodging, breakfast and dinner).

Registration Deadline
Applications for the GSI are due by midnight on Sunday, March 21, 2010. Participants will be notified by March 24, 2010 if they have been selected for the program.
