MISSION TRIP
6 Days in Sweet Auburn and Metro-Atlanta
Our experiences are a unique alternative to traditional mission trips. Rather than “fix” the poor or pop in-and-out for a work project, we invite you into community to connect with people from different backgrounds. This experience is an intense crash course in joining lives.
SERVICE LEARNING
6 Days in Sweet Auburn and Metro-Atlanta
Join us in the historic Sweet Auburn neighborhood of Atlanta for an experiential service-learning opportunity.
In the home of Dr. King and the civil-rights movement, experience the history and learn mindsets and skills for developing reciprocal relationships and engaging in the practical work of reconciliation.
We conduct actionable research that advances thought, practices and strategies related to place-based community-building that is inclusive of the most vulnerable.
We live in precarious times and are seeking to make a lasting impact through immediate solutions. But in our haste we often make decisions to fix problems and persons, forgetting that we are not called to fix but rather to reconcile. In this wide-ranging collection of essays we explore what it might look like if we were to live in the world first with the purpose of reconciling and then all that vision to guide our actions. This book engages with reconciliation in different contexts providing meaningful and potentially transformative insights that will lead the reader to more faithful lives and activities. The essays are not filled with theoretical reflections but hard-earned wisdom from proven thinkers, practitioners, and innovators.
4-Hour Workshop
Align your purpose and activities in the pursuit of reconciliation and innovative, collaborative community-centered solutions.
