About PLIA

Every spring break, Dordt University gives its students an opportunity to participate in a service project called Putting Love into Action, or PLIA. Each year, more than 100 students sign up to serve communities across the country. Students do a variety of jobs, including home repair, cleanup, and childcare. They also develop long-term relationships between Dordt and the organization the group serves.​ While these are mission-service trips, groups also find time away for recreation or sightseeing.

 

Throughout the week, students grow closer to each other through social and devotional times. PLIA serves both as a means of growth for the community and as a means of spiritual growth in the students.
