Nature of Work:The work will be done with the reservation churches in the southwest area. Cook School for Christian Leadership will continue to help churches and groups connect with Native American churches. The work varies from light repairs to construction of new buildings. Teaching Bible School during the time a group is helping on the reservation is also usually welcome. Visits to care facilities is also usually welcome.
Group Specifications: Groups accepted year round; group size: 10-25 maximum; minimum age: 15; adult/youth ratio: 1/5; it is helpful if groups can provide money for supplies for the project they will be working on.
Project Provides: Since Cook School for Christian Leadership no longer will reside on a campus, we will help groups make arrangements with local churches for housing or connect them with a similar site like Cook School. Presentations on Native American culture are available through Cook School and we encourage groups to take advantage of this service. If possible, groups should bring their own tools and personal items.
Additional Information: The Phoenix area and all of Arizona is an interesting place to visit. We encourage groups to set time aside to learn more about the area and visit local sites of interest.
