Trips
Gopher Global has successfully completed two out of state service trips, and is currently embarking on its first ever international trip. Our first trip was to Chicago where student-athletes from the University of Minnesota were able to join forces with student-athletes from other Big Ten facilitates to help clean, paint, and redecorate area elementary schools. The second successful trip was to South Dakota and the Cheyenne River Reservation. There, student-athletes and staff from University of Minnesota were able to lend a helping hand by refurbishing mobile homes on the reservation in addition to sharing their knowledge of living a healthy lifestyle to elementary students in the area.
We are about to embark on out first ever trip outside of the United States and are beyond excited to start making an impact on the global scene. Student-athletes and staff will be leaving on July 12 and head for Winnipeg, Canada. There, they will remain for four days in order to help make a difference to the community.

"The experience of having Gopher Global visit the Cheyenne River Reservation was great and eye opening. Your staff was excellent; they worked well with the youth and the youth looked up to them as I anticipated they would."
