Service & Advocacy

At Global Youth Village international summer camp, service and advocacy are the themes of the Community Involvement Program (CIP). Youth have had good discussions on both of these topics and talked about what specific areas they are interested in advocating for. They  completed several service projects on campus and also helped build a home at Habitat for Humanity on Saturday. On Monday, everyone headed to RAM House (a soup kitchen) and prepared and served lunch to 130 needy individuals!  In the afternoon, participants went to another area non-profit, Rescue Mission, and packed backpacks for low-income children.  Today the group is meeting with representatives from the Southwest Food Bank, United Way, and the Red Cross.
