Jumpstart your summer with food, fun, and water slides at our
SUMMER KICK-OFF!
ALL youth (rising 6th - completed 12th grade) are welcome to come on out and bring a friend!
For this year’s High School Summer Advocacy/Mission Experience, we are excited to partner with The General Board of Church and Society of the United Methodist Church.

from the General Board of Church and Society of the United Methodist Church:
"Even as you educate, organize, and advocate, justice is unlikely to arrive overnight. The systems and structures that create and perpetuate injustice are often protected by people with power who have ample resources to keep those systems intact. 
The 1908 Social Creed of The Methodist Episcopal Church, a predecessor of The United Methodist Church, called “for a living wage in every industry.” More than a century later, United Methodists are still pursuing this and other rights. Justice takes time, organization, and persistence. That is why it is important to take steps that create sustainability and ensure your efforts are movement-building rather than moment-building."

St. Luke’s Youth will immerse themselves in problems our world still faces through advocacy training activities, service assignments, a visit to Capitol Hill, and a walk-through of major landmarks in Washington, D.C.

For this year’s Middle School Summer Advocacy/Mission Experience, we will be partnered with Pathlight Home, Hope Partnership, & People's Free Kitchen (a grassroots local organization) in downtown Orlando. 

from the Hope Partnership:
"Advocacy is a critical component of our work to empower our neighbors, strengthen our communities, and build hope to ensure everyone in our community has a safe place to call home."

St. Luke’s Youth will immerse themselves in the problems with homelessness and poverty our community faces through advocacy training activities and service assignments.
