Helping Young Activists find partnerships with like-minded Faith Communities to build connections that cause change

Change The Story

A 6-month program in collaboration and engagement. Young adults and faith communities collaborate to launch a local community impact project.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Weekend launch - we start with a three day in-person training session where young adults are partnered with a team of 4-5 people from a local faith community. Over the course of the weekend, the team plans a community impact project, addressing a dream the young adult has for their community.

  • Following the launch weekend, the team will continue working together to fulfill their project plans - having a positive impact in their community.
