Keep an eye out for more details to come regarding our Weekend of Kindness this October 24th and 25th!

Tentative Schedule for eTSW 2020

Important Announcement Regarding TSW 2020

We have decided that this year, TSW is going to look a little different. We made the very difficult decision to hold the week online, in accordance with the advice of the government and public health officials, rather than in-person at the Maria Kaupas Center. We already have many exciting plans in the works! Be on the lookout for more information soon on eTSW 2020!

RSVP for our Sandwich Making Social on March 28th!

Interested in learning more about Teen Service Week? Been on the Week before but want to bring a friend this year? Come help us spread the word about Teen Service Week while making sandwiches for the Port Ministries Bread Truck. Pizza and refreshments will be provided!
