Make a Change this Spring or Fall!

Spring, fall, and other alternative breaks are a great time to give back to the community. The program has been designed for college students, and adapted for high school groups (grades 9-12). The St. Luke's Experience provides young people with hands on service learning projects that challenge and encourage them to engage a world that in need. Together they will explore various social justice issues and have the opportunity to meet those impacted by them and partner with agencies working for change.

Your experience is created through a combination of various ministries throughout Philadelphia. The week-long journey evokes a community reaching forth in love, in the midst of the abandoned, forgotten, hopeless, and the poor. The journey calls for humility, love, and above of selflessness. Along your journey, you'll bond with your peers, come across difficult situations, and interact with some of Philadelphia's unfortunate populations. 

 

Youth will engage in communal engagement projects that include:

• community cleanups
• serving in hunger programs
• home repairs 
• educational settings.
• group discussion
