Service Projects for Youth is a week-long mission adventure for middle and high school youth. Physically, we are a home repair ministry, making homes safer, warmer and drier, for families who want our helping hands. We divide your group into teams of ten or less (less is better) of which at least two are adults. We encourage each team to have a youth as a co-leader.
WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY DO? Our projects run from the simple to engineering dilemmas. All projects are equally important to the home owner, but some are a lot less stressful. Some examples of projects over the last couple of years are: painting, roofing, replacing gutters, yard work, bridge building, ramps, decks, wiring, paneling, plumbing, flooring, supports, masonry, ceilings, leaky toilets, furniture repair, clean out closets & basements….. Let’s just say, there is very little that we won’t consider doing.
I HEAR YOU, BUT… This is your first trip, you don’t have any skills (not possible), you don’t have any tools, you are afraid of ladders…. Again, not to worry; WE have the tools, provide training sessions, involve construction experts, spend time with you at the work sites, realize you have to make a few mistakes in order to learn…..
SO NOW WHAT? Once you fill out your application and you are accepted, we will contact you one month prior to your trip to ascertain your abilities and interests so that we can tailor fit the project to your group. Seven to ten days prior to your arrival we will inform you of your project and answer your questions. It couldn’t be any easier. .jpg)
