Border Perspective

Service Learning Experiences Along the Southern Border

Border Perspective equips leaders, advocates for biblical justice and mobilizes the church into action. Our service-learning trips are immersive, educational, and will intentionally place you into the lives of immigrant leaders serving families on the U.S. and Mexico border. Our border trips help uncouple a very polarizing topic and focus on the work that God is doing to care for an incredibly marginalized population.

Grants

Real Resources believes in giving back to the communities and churches we serve. Real Resources serves as the benevolent arm of its ministries by providing grants to YouthWorks community partners and summer staff and by providing event scholarships to participants of all our ministries.
