What is Learn & Serve?

the best week of your summer

We are a ministry of SIFAT (Servants in Faith and Technology), and our goal is to expose students, as well as their adult leaders, to the living conditions and social injustice issues occurring in Two-thirds World (or developing) countries today. Through that exposure, we hope to plant a seed and empower those who attend to go back to their community and make an impact in some way. We hope that they can experience missions in another country at some point, but what can they be doing right now that could make a real difference in someone's life?

“In Alabama we are not exposed to other cultures much – interaction with other ways, cultures is excellent.”
