Want to lead a Spring Serve trip?
Are you interested in leading a serve trip over spring break? We are looking for both student and faculty leaders. Here are the trip descriptions:
Haiti
In partnership with the French department, a team of students will be immersed in the Haitian culture as well as serve alongside local ministries and health care organizations. The trip will be led by Isabelle Corneaux and Jaques St. Gelus. Separate applications are required.
Camp Attitude
Students will partner and serve with Camp Attitude, a not-for-profit Christian organization dedicated to providing a unique faith-based camping experience for families in the disability community. Students will help complete projects for the camp and maintain facilities for the special needs community
Flying H Ranch, Yakima, Wash.
This trip is located at the Flying H Ranch, located 30 miles west of Yakima, Wash. The ranch ministers to at-risk youth. On this trip, students will do physical labor as well as spend some time with the boys in worship, devotions, meals, games and conversation.
Urban Impact, Seattle
A team of students will serve with Urban Impact in Seattle, focusing on building relationships and serving in the community through the local church. The team will do a variety of work projects, which may include tutoring, service projects, administrative work and cleaning.
Mending Wings, Washington
We will partner with Mending Wings, a nonprofit Native American youth organization located on the Yakama Reservation in Washington state. Students will come alongside the reservation community to build trust and friendship while serving alongside them painting homes, cleaning yards of garbage and debris, chopping wood for elders, mowing, weeding gardens, working at a homeless shelter, doing light construction projects, and perhaps working at one of their local powwows.
San Francisco
This trip will go to San Francisco to work with ReImagine, a center for integrating Christian practice. The week will consist of guided prayer tours, trash pick-up, serving meals to people living on the streets, learning about local issues such as human trafficking and poverty, as well as spending time in group and individual spiritual reflection.
If you are interested in participating, applications are due no later than Friday, Feb. 12. If you would like to serve as a student leader, applications are due Saturday, Jan. 30.
