Summer Youth Mission Trip 2026
On July 18–24, 2026, we will head to Cincinnati, Ohio for our Summer Youth Mission Trip—a Week of Hope! All middle school and high school students are encouraged to join us. During our Week of Hope, POP Youth will have the opportunity to serve the community through meaningful projects that meet real needs. Each project is a chance to connect with others, lend a helping hand, and make a lasting impact. The 2026 Summer Youth Trip is open to all students entering Grades 7–12 in 2026, as well as graduating high school seniors (Class of 2026). Current 6th-grade students who will enter 7th grade in Fall 2026 are also eligible to attend. The cost is $395 per student, plus participation in our Summer Youth Trip fundraisers throughout the year. Register by October 20 by emailing Alex.Lillis@poplc.org.
