Spring To Service

Come spend your spring break doing something good for somebody else! Past years trips include : flying to Oregon and working with Habitat For Humanity to rebuild housing and flying to Tijuana to re-paint local schools. Last year we took over 3,000 pounds of sports equipment to La Paz in Baja and taught kids how to play organized sports. The equipment was then donated to those communities. This is a very powerful, exciting, memorable experience that you don't want to miss!

Days : TBD
Location : Mexico!
Cost : TBD
