TH Inaugural Days of Service & Learning

THEOLOGICAL HORIZONS | DAYS OF SERVICE & LEARNING!

Throughout the Spring of 2023, our Perkins Fellows will be hosting days of service and learning with their respective community partners. Perkins Fellows are 2nd-4th years who commit to a year of weekly service and learning with local non-profits. They also meet monthly as a cohort to support one another and discuss books around issues of faith and social justice. As we look to introduce more students to the community outside their UVa bubble as well as share about the Perkins Fellows program, we hope these days will be valuable opportunities. Learn more and sign up below.

Sat, Feb. 25th, 10am-1pm | Charlottesville Abundant Life. Join us as we do yard work with CALM! Staff will introduce us to the organization’s mission and their work within the Prospect Ave community. We will then help clean out the yard near the CALM buildings, and hopefully get to hang out with some of the kids in the neighborhood. Following this we will reconvene at Common Grounds to have a short conversation about the intersection of faith and social justice as well as the importance of community development. Contact Grace Jackson or Megnot Abebe to learn more and sign up.
