Each summer, Prep students travel to communities near and far to serve, learn, and encounter others through our Summer Immersion Program. These experiences often become defining moments in a young person’s formation, shaping how they understand leadership, service, and justice.
As we finalize plans for this summer’s immersions, we are seeking additional adult chaperones to help make these experiences possible.
We know that many of our alumni carry forward the values they developed during their time at Prep. This is an opportunity to give back in a direct and meaningful way by accompanying the next generation of Prep students as they engage in service and reflection.
The need is time-sensitive, and securing enough qualified chaperones will ensure that students can fully participate in the experiences they have been preparing for throughout the year.
- 2 Chaperones Needed – Appalachian Institute at Wheeling University, Wheeling, WV: June 21-June 26,
- 2 Chaperones Needed – Nazareth Farm, Salem, WV: June 28-July 4
- 1 Chaperone Needed – WV Ministry of Advocacy and Workcamps, Mt. Pleasant, WV: July 5-11
- 1 Chaperone Needed – Bethlehem Farm, Talcott, WV: July 5-July 11
Here is what’s in it for you:
- These trips are definitely awesome opportunities to get to know our current students and help ignite their spirit for service.
- It’s super powerful to learn about different communities around our nation from firsthand experience.
- There is a $600 stipend! (Food, lodging, gas, etc. covered for the trip)
- It’s an opportunity to show off what Prep for Life really means. Showing them that former graduates want to continue to be involved is extremely meaningful.
Please Note: Per our policy, all drivers must have the following:
- Valid driver’s license
- Personal automobile insurance (parent, spouse or family insurance policy accepted)
