Sierra Service Project (SSP) is all about building; building homes, building communities, building bridges between people and cultures, and building a relationship with God. Rise up and build with us. We are an independent, interdenominational Christian 501 (c)(3) nonprofit
SSP has developed an online application that will simplify life for our liaisons and will make some things more efficient for our office. This tool is called “MySSP”.

Over 50 youth, staff and counselors contributed their stories to SSP's first published book. Over ten dollars is given to the SSP Scholarship Fund for every book purchased, allowing low-income youth the opportunity to attend SSP. As SSP grows and evolves over the decades, we want to remember where we have been and where we want to go. Join SSP in remembering the sweat, hard work and God-filled moments starting in the early days and traveling through the Navajo Nation to South Los Angeles, Guatemala and Honduras.
