LAUP DIPS
|
These are 24 to 72 hour urban immersions in the inner city of Los Angeles. We'll experience the realities of urban poverty, get perspective on God's heart, and participate in being a part of the solution. These are open to any student from any faith background and are a great place to begin learning about God's heart for the poor and the city.

LAUP PLUNGES
|
Plunges are alternative spring break experiences of God's heart for the poor and issues of justice. We will experience urban poverty and injustice, learn the biblical perspective on these issues, and will spend time working for the good of the city and it inhabitants.
We encourage students to do a small amount of fund-raising to pay for these trips. These trips are open to students from any faith background who are curious about God, Jesus, and the Bible. |

LAUP SUMMER INTERNSHIPS
|
The Six-Week Summer Internship gives students a real-life experience of living out their values by sending them in teams to partner with community-based organizations that address the social issues of the city. Students live among the poor, go to church in urban communities, and are on a fixed-income comparable to the residents in their neighborhoods. In the midst of this experience, students receive teaching from a Christian perspective on the biblical values of service, justice, and compassion, as well as receiving regular training in leadership, teamwork, and decision-making.
This combination of hands-on experience and training equips students to use their careers to combat the social, economic, and spiritual challenges of our world. Application is required for participation, and student interns are required to fund-raise $1900. |
