Registration Starts for 2009

Registration materials for your 2009 summer projects are now available and have been mailed to all churches on our mailing list.  If you have not received, you can download one here or contact our office to have one mailed to you.

 

Our priority registration deadline is November 15, 2008.  Get your registration to us by that date to greatly increase the chances that we can schedule you at your choice of location and date.

 

Plans for 2009

Senior high projects will take place in South Los Angeles; McDermitt, NV; Indian Valley (Greenville), CA; and Loleta, CA.  We will again offer our successful Tijuana, MX project, which was first piloted last year. 

 

The location of our junior high program is still not determined.  It will probably be in either Yerington, NV or on the Round Valley Reservation in Covelo, CA.  Both of these locations are about 4-hours driving distance from Sacramento.

 

Summer of 2008

The summer has been a wonderful success.  Over 1,750 youth and adult volunteers worked at our five reservation sites, in South Los Angeles and in Tijuana, Mexico.  Teams completed work on a total of 127 projects!  In Honduras, 35 volunteers built five complete houses alongside families and neighbors.  Just as important as the home repair and construction work is the building of lives - of  youth volunteers, adult counselors, our staff, members of the communities in which we work and the many, many others we come into contact with.

 

We have posted some photos from our sites, but we need many more!!  Please send us your photos or a link to your posts.  View 2008 Photos.

SSP's Mission Trips

SSP has been providing life-changing service experiences for young people since 1975 in which young people learn first-hand the joys of Christian service to others.

Most of our projects take place on Indian reservations, where youth spend their days repairing homes and their evenings in worship, discussion and recreation.  We also operate a home-repair project in the City of Los Angeles and three home-building projects in Honduras.
