We are excited to announce Mosaic: Interfaith Youth Action’s upcoming Newton Farm Service Learning Day! This event promises to be a transformative experience for all participants, offering a unique blend of hands-on service work and interfaith dialogue.

Participants will engage in various farm activities, including planting, harvesting, and maintaining the farm’s beautiful landscape. These tasks not only contribute to the farm’s productivity but also provide a tangible way for participants to connect with the land and each other.

Interfaith dialogue: A key component of the day will be our structured interfaith dialogue sessions. These discussions will focus on the religious and spiritual connections to farming and environmental stewardship. Participants from diverse religious backgrounds will have the opportunity to share their perspectives, fostering mutual understanding and respect.

Service and learning: This day is more than just service; it’s about learning and growing together. Through guided discussions and reflective activities, participants will explore the broader implications of their work, including themes of sustainability, community building, and social justice.

The event is open to youth ages 12-18. Whether you are a seasoned volunteer or new to service learning, this day is designed to be inclusive and enriching for everyone.

We look forward to seeing you at the Newton Farm Service Learning Day, where together, we will cultivate not just crops but also community and understanding. Join us for a day of meaningful work, learning, and interfaith connection!
