Dear Applicant,
Thank you so much for applying for our Mission Care Urban Residency Program. These programs are designed to not only provide opportunities to serve at-risk youth and families, but to also provide a challenging program that will help young potential leaders, like yourself, grow in their faith and leadership. Our past leaders have consistently shared that this experience, while challenging, has changed their perception of the world and their faith for the better.
It has been said, “Out of difficulties grow miracles.” Make no mistake, this program is challenging and requires commitment. We are what we are committed to. So it is important that you read over carefully what the commitments of this program are, as these commitments are the most important thing about this program.
