ICA ENGAGES YOUTH IN SERVICE LEARNING IN CHICAGO

While staying in the ICA GreenRise 8th floor lodging, two youth ministries participated in an abridged ICA Service Learning program.

Northway Christian Church and the First Christian Church of Rowlett, both from Texas, arranged for their two ministries to learn, live, and volunteer together. Caitlin Sarro, ICA Program Manager, led the training with the group of 40 youth (aged 12-17) and their youth ministers to explore a deeper understanding of service work, causes of homelessness, and systemic injustice.The group's days were divided between reflective curriculum and hands-on volunteering with nonprofits across Chicago.
