Youth Mission Trips
For 30 years our high school youth have gone on a summer Mission Trip, led by Susan Hunn and a team of Youth Advisors. They have volunteered in a wide variety of situations: homeless shelters and feeding programs, summer camps, Habitat for Humanity and other urban renewal sites, historical cemeteries, churches, schools and colleges in a variety of locations: cities, rural areas, and Native American reservations in the US, including Alaska. They have also served in other countries specifically Mexico, Canada and Denmark.
Summer 2011
Our youth will continue an exploration of concerns related to hunger and poverty, volunteering with the Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon in Portland from July 25 to August 3. They will serve in a variety of agencies which are tackling food justice issues, such as working on an urban farm and in community gardens, distributing food to needy families through a church’s farmers’ market, and serving meals to AIDS patients through another church.
