Service-Learning Trips
Each summer our youth participate in service-learning trips. In Summer, 2023 we will serve with Sierra Service Project June 25-July 1 in Del Norte County, CA. This trip is open to entering 6th graders-high school graduates. We will work with residents and organizations in the coastal towns of Smith River, Fort Dick, and Crescent City as well as, at times, inland in Hiouchi and Gasquet. Because Del Norte County’s poverty rate is more than 20 percent and is one of the poorest counties in the State, we work with the entire community, including some families who are tribal members. Total program cost per person is $750. Register below by February 15th!
