How You Can Help

The Durham Summer Service Week needs YOUR help! The vast majority of tuition for the week is used to pay for staff, transportation and supplies.

There are LOTS of ways you or your church or community group can be part of our Work Crew. Some ideas include:

• Sponsor a teenager’s Service Week this summer ($325).
• Provide a van or bus for transportation during the week.
• Organize your church to provide a bag lunch for our DSSWers and staff during our June service week.
• Have your church youth group (or your kids or your family) bring watermelon and popsicles to our work crew one afternoon during the Service Week.
• Help get the word out to teens and families about this great opportunity.
• Loan us tools or donate supplies.
• Contact us about other ideas!
