On January 20 middle and high school students of various faith traditions around the city gathered at WFYI for the Umoja Youth Conference.

Derrin Slack, leader of the innovative ProAct organization, shared his award-winning service-learning curriculum, guiding the students to identify their passions and interests, then translate those passions into action. The group came up with some amazing ideas, including a benefit concert, movie night for kids/date night for parents, and a “field day” with competitions among students from local congregations. They are planning several fundraising events in the coming months.

Connecting with others from different backgrounds and working together raises leaders on both continents. Please support the efforts of Indiana students as they work hand in hand to help their Kenyan counterparts.
