Join us for a Spring Break with a Purpose
Make a Difference this Spring Break: Join the Fight to End Youth Homelessness in Seattle!
Looking for a spring break that’s more than just a getaway? Spend a week in Seattle, WA, exploring the root causes of youth homelessness and making a real impact on the lives of young people in need. This immersive experience will blend hands-on service with engaging discussions, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Pacific Northwest.
Why Seattle?
Every night in King County, nearly 1,100 youth and young adults face homelessness, with around 70% sleeping outside due to a lack of shelter or housing. By joining us this spring break, you'll work directly with local nonprofits dedicated to changing these statistics, providing shelter, meals, job training, education, and much-needed support to Seattle’s youth and families.
What to Expect:
Your week will be filled with impactful service projects like serving meals, building transitional tiny homes, deep-cleaning shelters, and prepping and packing weekend supplies for Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ in need. You’ll directly contribute to the efforts to end youth homelessness while connecting with a community passionate about making a difference.
Explore Seattle’s Vibrant Culture:
Beyond service, immerse yourself in the city’s unique culture and breathtaking scenery. On our community immersion day, you'll have the chance to explore Seattle through team-organized activities such as visiting the iconic Pike Place Market, taking a ferry ride to a nearby island, or exploring the Museum of Pop Culture. From the bustling city streets to the serene Northern Cascades, Seattle offers endless opportunities for adventure.
