Alternative Spring Break Projects
|
 |
To help participants grow in Christian leadership through service |
|
To sustain a relationship with young people who wish to continue their SSP experience into adulthood |
|
To offer age-appropriate spiritual programs |
|
To function as an extension of college and campus ministries. |
We are tentatively planning to host 2009 Spring Break Projects during the weeks of March 7, 14 and 21, 2009. Our programs have typically been five-nights long, but this can be customized to the needs and the schedules of the attending groups. We are also able to host sessions on weeks other than these three.
For a session to take place, we need a minimum of 10 participants. We work directly with interested groups to create a schedule of work and study activities that matches their objectives. For example, the 2007 project schedule included the following:
|
Attendance at two inner city worship services on Sunday morning. |
|
A guided bus tour of downtown and South Los Angeles. |
|
A visit to a service ministry for GLBT Hispanic immigrants. |
|
A visit to a center for homeless teenagers and an gang-prevention drop-in center for children and teens. |
|
An evening of song, worship and barbeque at the beach. |
|
Four days of construction and repair service work. |
The cost of the 2009 program will be around $230, which covers everything except transportation to Los Angeles. Our project site is only 20 minutes from LAX.

These sessions are open to any college-age individuals and any college ministry groups. If you are part of a group whose spring break does not correspond to these weeks, please call our office at 916-488-6441 (or email rickeaton@sierraserviceproject.org) to discuss the possibility of adding a session for you.
SSP's young adult mission program is an intense and exciting service experience. It combines the power of the "traditional" SSP program with the energies and maturity of the 18- to 30-year-old age group.
"You all created a great experience that has changed me forever!"
"Simply an awesome experience all around!"
"The mutual respect meant so much to me. Thank you all for loving and learning with us."
Our Honduras Project is open young adults as well as high school juniors and seniors. To learn more, look at our Honduras Project page or call our office.
