SWLYG New Mexico Service Learning Trip 2026
SWLYG is heading to Albuquerque, New Mexico—where service meets impact, from July 17 - 24, 2026!
Helping with the New Mexico Ramp Project, our Youth Group and Middle School students will take part in hands-on service by helping build wheelchair ramps for local Indigenous American communities. These ramps provide essential accessibility, independence, and safety for individuals and families who need them most.
In addition to construction work, students will also partner with local shelters and community organizations, assisting with projects that support unhoused neighbors, families in crisis, and individuals seeking stability. From serving meals to organizing resources, students will experience firsthand how small acts of kindness create meaningful change.
This trip offers powerful opportunities to:
-
Serve alongside community leaders, making a difference
-
Learn practical building and teamwork skills
-
Build relationships across cultures and communities
-
Grow together in faith, compassion, and understanding
The trip cost includes lodging, food, all activities, transportation, and a trip shirt :)
Student cost: $600
Adult Cost: $300
The real cost of the trip is $725 per person. If you feel called to give beyond the listed price, you are welcome to do so. We are grateful for those whose generosity supports these service experiences. Financial assistance applications are available upon request. We do not want the cost to be a reason your child cannot go.”

Middle School
Middle school youth are hungry for something deeply good, something to not only sustain them through the storms of growing up, but also to help them live into the joyful possibility of this time when they develop their identity.
So, what does middle school ministry look like?
All 6th, 7th and 8th grade students are welcome to join us on Wednesday nights from either 5-6PM or 6:30–7:30PM. DELVE, our middle school confirmation ministry, exists to help young people become grounded in faith and baptismal identity.
High School
Leaning on our relationship with God and one another is what helps high schoolers navigate the place between adolescence and growing independence.
