Who is DOOR?

DOOR (Discovering Opportunities for Outreach and Reflection) is a faith based network of  urban service-learning programs that expose, educate, challenge, and motivate participants to respond to the issues and concerns facing an increasingly urban world.

What we would do:

Through weeks and weekends in the city, participants immerse themselves in urban life and serve in community-based ministries.  Your group will participate in coordinated trips designed to challenge your group to “see the face of God in the city” as you spend time listening, volunteering, and reflecting on your experiences.

Your group can come to one of our cities to experience the city:

• Volunteering at a variety of community agencies
• Staying at facilities in the city
• Participating in a network of service-learning opportunities
• Hearing a local perspective on the city
• Using public transportation (when available)
• Interacting with people of the city
• Reflecting on their experiences

Each day features a service assignment between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. followed by afternoon free time, dinner and an evening session. On the final night, participants reflect together on what they have seen, felt and experienced for the week.
