Who We Are

We firmly believe that the college journey should also open hearts and minds to histories and experiences that are sometimes not fully appreciated by all. The Civil Rights Pilgrimage through UW-Eau Claire is a unique opportunity to travel the path of the civil rights movement and walk through these pivotal places and stories in our history. Each year, we offer two travel immersion experiences for students to explore issues of social justice and the history of the civil rights movement in the United States.What We're Fundraising For

The Civil Rights Pilgrimage would not be possible for many students without the continued support from our generous community. Gifts to the Civil Rights Pilgrimage & Student Immersion Programs fund allows us to offset the cost of the trip to ensure those that want to take part in this transformative trip can do so.

Your Impact

Without the continued support from donations like yours, the UW-Eau Claire Civil Rights Pilgrimage would not be possible for many students. Through contributions, students can learn in great depth and experience the civil rights movement.
