What the Mission Trip Will Be Like
The Pittsburgh area is home to many neighboring communities including New Kensington, Lower Burrell and Natrona Heights. Many people in New Kensington live below the poverty level, and struggle to make ends meet week-to-week. Some of the biggest needs include providing meals, clothing, and personal supplies for families.
Week of Hope changes lives—including yours…
Your teenagers will perform practical, meaningful acts of community service for some very special people. People whose lives you’ll touch…whose names you’ll learn. And, you’ll enjoy a personal, friendly setting of less than 100 participants…ideal for getting to know everyone.
You and your young people will partner with local churches, service agencies, and homeowners. And over the five days, your help will bolster the efforts of the ongoing work in these communities.
Your young people will make new friends, create new memories, and have a wonderful time together. Most importantly, your teenagers will discover that as they focus on the needs of others…they grow closer to Jesus.
We’ll take care of the details for you so you can concentrate on your teenagers. Your young people will learn new skills, serve in important roles, and have loads of fun as you assist the elderly…tutor struggling kids…conduct a backyard Bible club…serve at a food bank…staff an activities camp for disabled children…spruce up the grounds of a financially strapped social service agency…engage children at a day camp…and improve the community in other important ways. You’ll also serve other trip participants through meal preparation, cleanup, and maintaining the lodging facility.
And when the sun goes down, you and your young people will experience faith-building, interactive programs that include Scripture, worship, video, and drama. Programs are coordinated by a staff member, but you, your young people, and other participants will participate in other program elements.
Your mission trip will be run by ministry-minded staff, including highly-trained, college-age leaders.
Bring hope to a community next summer. Give your group the chance to grow closer to Jesus at a Week of Hope.

Relation of Opportunity to National Church and/or Long-term Goals
Week of Hope are community service mission trips for youth. Students come alongside seasoned local ministries and nonprofits to make a lasting difference through meaningful community service. They’ll learn Christ-like empathy and compassion for others as they meet the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of disadvantaged children, youth, and adults. As students serve in the name of Jesus, they’ll develop friendships with the people they serve, with other teams, with their own youth group, and, most importantly, with Jesus.
