Project Good Help: Summer Volunteer Service Program

What is Project Good Help

“If not us, who?  If not here, where?  If not now, when?  If not the Kingdom, why?  Dare the dream.  – Author unknown. 

Project Good Help is a short-term service experience for single, Catholic young women ages (19 – 35).  We believe that giving young adults an opportunity to both touch lives through direct service to people in need and to deepen their faith will transform lives.  Join a group of volunteers and assist Sisters of Bon Secours in Baltimore.

• You will be exposed to service through volunteering
• You will receive tools for reflecting on social justice and linking it to your faith
• You will learn more about the Sisters of Bon Secours

Will it use your gifts?  Absolutely!

Will it stretch or change you?  If you allow yourself to be the hands, feet and heart of Jesus, then yes.

Will it make an impact? Hearing God’s call to service and responding is transformative.

Consider being a part of the struggle for a more humane world.  It’s an integral part of spreading the Gospel.  For the fruit of love is service.  

Below are details about the 2012 Project Good Help short-term summer service program.
