How to Support WorkCamp

Pray

Most importantly, we ask that you keep the high schoolers and adult volunteers in your prayers as they serve those in need during the week of WorkCamp. The following prayer is said every day in the Diocesan Office of Youth Ministry:

Heavenly Father,
I praise & thank You for Your infinite goodness and unconditional love. I long to give generously to You just as the widow did, “…all that she had, her whole livelihood.” I offer this prayer for Your greater glory and in thanksgiving for the good work that You are accomplishing through the youth, campus, and young adult ministry leaders of the Diocese. Help us to grow in holiness and respond faithfully to Your will and grace. 
Bless the young people that I serve and all the young people of the Diocese. Help them to listen to Your Word, respond to Your call in their life and to encounter Your saving love through my humble service. Amen.

Give

It costs over $550 to send each high schooler to WorkCamp. Your donation directly supports them, and in turn allows them to serve those in need. The majority of your donation helps offset the cost of materials and supplies for home repairs, as well as meals, transportation, more.
