Mission Philadelphia- HS/MS Service Trip

June 29-July 3, 2024

St. David’s is joining forces with Trinity Episcopal Church Solebury to serve in West Philadelphia. Each year Trinity Solebury youth and young adults have worked in Philadelphia’s high need areas to help improve the quality of  life for local residents. For the past  27 years, Trinity Solebury has worked side by side with residents to revitalize their neighborhoods by transforming abandoned lots into green spaces and community gardens that inspire and promote positive human interaction.  Mission Philadelphia forges relationships with these neighborhoods, working together to break down racial and demographic barriers. 

The trip will be June 29th-July 3rd and is open to all MS and HS students (Rising 6th – graduating 12th grade students). Students will stay at Bryn Mawr College. The cost of the trip is $150.
