Mission University

Join us and turn education into action—because knowledge should change lives.

At Mission University, we believe that education should go beyond the classroom—empowering students and professionals to create real-world impact through service-learning experiences. Founded in 2019 by Dr. James Hauschildt, who has a lifelong mission to improve global healthcare education and support underserved communities. Mission University was created to bridge the gap between academic learning and humanitarian action. We offer customized service-learning programs for students and professionals, combining hands-on humanitarian work with academic growth. As a 501(c)(3) public charity, we are committed to humanitarian relief, community development, and educational outreach. Thanks to philanthropic support, we keep our programs accessible to students, professionals, and volunteers passionate about creating lasting change
