Seasons of Service



Here at JSC it's a beautiful, inspiring time of year! (The photo at right is of our Lamoille River Clean-up canoe outing earlier this fall.) We're just getting ready for our Fall Break, and are in the process of selecting Break Away participants. We had lots of interest in the program and so many wonderful applicants! I wish we were able to take them all. (Note: did you apply? notifications are going out today and over the break.) We're working on several other opportunities for folks to get engaged. (Watch this space, you'll see it here first!) Meeting with our Break Away trip leaders yesterday, it was wonderful to welcome a new trip leader, Kyle Fisher! We're so glad to have Kyle joining us. Kyle will be co-leading our Environment trip with Dave Jacobs. Plans are coming together, sites are getting confirmed and travel arrangements are being firmed up. I feel so inspired and confident in our sites--so many great organizations, and everything is very well organized.

It's great to see so many awesome pre-trip education and service plans as well. Some of the things you'll see before our trips are campus-wide film showings, speakers, focused service projects, and perhaps a demonstration or two.
We hope all of you have a safe, happy, and fun break!
