Young Adults in the News

We help bring awareness to fair-trade farming practices, and we volunteer in soup kitchens. We organize Episcopal youth groups at universities. Some of us serve overseas as missionaries, embracing different cultures as we meet inspiring people and do good work. Check out the stories of what we’ve achieved in the name of the Lord.
