UM Seminar Program

New York or Washington D.C.

Have you returned from service trips with renewed passion, but without any concrete ways to stay engaged with the issues and connected to the people you encountered? Are you ready for a new kind of “mission trip,” one that encourages your group to look beyond quick fixes, and gives them the tools to address the systems that allow injustice to exist? An experience that propels your group into a new level of thought and action and continues beyond the days they spend on the trip? Consider taking a trip to Washington, DC, or New York City, for an eye-opening, thought-provoking, and empowering journey of faith with the United Methodist Seminar Program! Seminars are available for people of high school age and over. For more information on how to take part, visit the UM Seminar website.
