Heading South for the Summer

After my wonderful and exciting summer in Detroit last year, I am determined to spend another summer in service. My experience with Motown Mission was more than inspirational. I had the opportunity to work with middle school and high school-aged youth daily, doing house repair and helping run the program, while spreading the love of God.  This summer I have the fortune of being able to work for Project Transformation, a non-profit organization that holds summer (and year-round) day camps for urban kids. So, I will be traveling south at the end of May and living on a college campus in Dallas, TX!  For this summer, I have the chance to work with elementary-aged youth. The program includes reading enrichment, arts and crafts, bible discussion, mountain biking excursions, and more. I hope to find out more about the program I am working with, but for now, I am just brushing up on my country!

Thank you for reading!
