Students Today Leaders Forever Pay It Forward Tour

Youth Action Hudson is excited to introduce our Hudson High School Pay It Forward tour! This year we are partnering with Students Today Leaders Forever (STLF) an organization that’s mission is to reveal leadership through service, relationships, and action! We at Youth Action believe STLF’s mission correlates strongly with our hope to empower and engage youth to make a difference through service learning, leadership, and education. Each student will have their own personal response to what this trip offers and they can bring back what they have gained to the Hudson community to respond to a need or turn an idea into reality.

We will depart July 31, 2012 at 3:30 p.m. from Hudson, WI continue on through Waterloo, IA, Galesburg, IL, Springfield, IL and finally celebrate our service in St. Louis, MO! We will return to Hudson, WI on August 4, 2012. While

on the road our daily schedule will look like this:

• Service Project in the Morning
• Lunch with the Community Served
• College/University Tour (University of Iowa and Knox College)
• Bus Travel in the Afternoon to Next City (charter motor coaches)
• Potential Tourism in City
• Evening Activities and Reflection
• Spend the Night (with the exception of the celebration city which are spent in a hotel, participants sleep in gyms, community centers, churches, etc)

STLF strives to expose participants to a new social issue and a different community environment each day. Throughout the tour, participants will engage in service projects that involve everything from human interaction to labor-intensive work, usually while using teamwork to accomplish their tasks. Each service project can range from 2 - 4.5 hours and may be indoor or outdoor.

A High School Pay It Forward Tour experience costs $300.There is a $100 non-refundable down payment required to reserve your spot on the Pay It Forward Tour. We have fundraising options available upon request.
