EXPLORE WITH YOUR GROUP
SCHOOLS
Poverty Encounter can accommodate any size homeschool, public school, or private school students in grades Pre-K through college! Through this immersive and educational field trip, your students’ eyes will be opened to living conditions around the world. All groups will have an opportunity to serve those in need.
A Note for Educators:
The scope of Poverty Encounter is intended to provide guests with an introduction to the realities of children living in poverty and a biblical response to poverty, as well as an opportunity to take action to help those in need. Questions related to issues outside of the intended scope (for example, politics, environmental concerns, etc.) will be referred to the teacher or school leadership.
CHURCHES
Pastors and church leaders can reserve a full day for their congregation, or visit in smaller groups such as Life Groups, Bible study groups, missions teams, and youth groups. Hearts will be softened as guests hear of God’s love for the poor, and the biblical response to suffering.
YOUTH
ORGANIZATIONS
Troop leaders enjoy not only the educational aspect of Poverty Encounter, but the hands-on food packing activity as well. Troops, such as Trail Life USA and American Heritage Girls, can purchase a patch in our Poverty Encounter Gift Shop. Summer camps and after-school programs are also welcome!
