Sierra Service Project
Faith-based summer service trips where youth volunteer teams repair homes for low-income families in rural communities. Participants learn about poverty, housing justice, and community development.
Participants do not need any experience with home repair work or power tools to volunteer.
Each summer, SSP youth, young adult, and adult volunteers work with partner communities throughout the Western United States.
Bring your group to volunteer with us to help residents safely age in place.
