Join UCC UConn in our Alternative Spring Break trip partnered with Deep Roots organization in Earlville, Maryland. The mission statement of the organization is: Ending Homelessness One Family and One Child at a Time – In addition to serving as a homeless shelter for children and families in the community, Deep Roots strives to break the generational cycle of homelessness. The program encourages children and their parents to envision a brighter future, to sustain healthy relationships, and to navigate a course towards personal and social responsibility. Through better life experiences, with mentors, and by providing healthy life-models, education, and supports, Deep Roots seeks to show our families that homelessness is not destiny. Ending poverty and homelessness begins with the building of community, relationships, and in genuine human meeting – beyond barriers of race, class, and religion. Community enriches all our lives, and the lives of our children; it lays the foundation for the gentle and peaceable world we long for: One in which the violence of poverty and homelessness have no more place.
In addition, UCC UConn will embark on a day-trip to Washington, D.C. as team bonding activity!
