When

Official summer dates are in June and July and can be found on the website. Students Living a Mission also works with groups who may have a desire to serve on alternate dates like spring break or an abbreviated weekend trip.

What We Will Do

Your group will be paired with projects in the Nashville metro area that could include facilitating a kids camp for immigrant children, cleaning or other household chores for the elderly and disabled, working an organic farm to contribute to local nutritional needs, serving the homeless or those experiencing food-insecurity, and more. These projects will typically be facilitated by SLAM team members who have developed capacities for leading these projects and often have personal experience and/or relationship with those being served. Beyond the service projects, your week will be intentionally structured to give students and leaders opportunities to hear from the Lord through teaching, music, reflection, and prayer. SLAM also facilitates times of conversation, play, and laughter for participants to enjoy time together. This is intended to allow the encouragement and equipping that will move each participant to be a better representative of Jesus to those around them.
