Deadline: Application for NDBridge

Deadline: January 4, 2026

Are you a current first year student?

Looking for a summer justice opportunity?

Then NDBridge may be for you!

NDBridge is a one-credit graded course and an eight-week immersive summer experience where students think hard about injustice, work with communities around the world that face it, and consider their responsibility to the common good while at Notre Dame and beyond. (If you’re a sophomore or junior please check out Social Concerns Summer Fellowships.)

Students selected for the program take a one-credit course in the spring semester of their first year which focuses on understanding the challenges marginalized communities face and provides a framework for encountering people in those communities. The course, in addition to orientation sessions, develops an awareness of what justice looks like, examines how systemic injustice is created and perpetuated, and asks students to consider their responsibility to promote justice and the common good.
