Stories of Service: My City Encouragement Cards
A huge THANK YOU to every young person who took time to write a note! Your act of love made a big difference in the lives of people who often feel forgotten.
If you are interested in writing a letter to an inmate at Folsom Prison, you can address the card to our offices at 2830 G Street Sacramento CA 95816 and we will hand deliver it during a future visit to the prison.
Upcoming Service Event: Serve Every School
Serve Every School is a region wide youth initiative giving opportunity for students to engage their schools in a positive and practical way by simple acts of service. Groups of students will work with a campus champion to discover and meet a practical service need at their school with the guidance of school administration. Service projects will happen on many high school campuses and select middle school and college campuses in a 48 hour period on April 21st-22nd 2015.
We are still looking for youth pastors and leaders who are willing to champion a local school in their area. This is a great opportunity for churches and youth pastors to get their students involved with impacting the school they attend in a positive way!
