Summer SERVE CAMP
We greatly appreciate the 130 local high school students who gave their time, effort, and energy to SERVE with Catholic Charities this summer. From painting houses to playing with children, SERVE participants make a difference!
“My best experience at SERVE was getting to know a class full of beautiful minds. SERVE and the reflection day gave me a deeper understanding of my calling and the work I had done.”
--SERVE Participant, St. Peter Claver Summer Witness
Applications for SERVE 2010 will be available in the Spring. Check back to sign up.
