Project Details

Day to Day

Each day at Elevate looks different but all point to growth in community, living on mission, and deeper connection to Jesus. Mondays & Wednesdays will consist of Life Skill Development and Learning Labs. Tuesdays & Thursday are all about serving the city through volunteer opportunities. Friday - Sunday is used for exploring San Diego and serving a local church.

Life Skills

During the five weeks at Elevate, we hope that students not only grow spiritually but also in knowledge of different skills. Life Skill Development  is a hands on opportunity to learn a practical skill necessary to one's personal growth and development (Ie. silence & solitude, budgeting, cooking, and more!).

Learning Labs

Our desired outcome of this Summer Project is that college students grow to love God more. Learning Labs are a classroom environment devoted to the teaching, learning, and application of one of the four core Elevate competencies (Abide, Connect, Disciple, Send). We do this in order to understand the role we play in making disciples.

Support Raising

In order to get to SD this summer, we ask all students to fundraise their cost.
What is support raising?
The term “support raising” can have many connotations when you first see it. It implies that students will be asked to raise money to cover the costs of the trip. When we use the term, we are referring to so much more than financial support. Students are “raising” prayer support, emotional support and spiritual support alongside financial support.
Why do we support raise?
Support raising allows students to be sent by their families, friends and churches. Asking for support (both prayer and financial) helps get people involved in the student’s experience. It gives the student encouragement along the way, gives affirmation from the body of Christ and allows others to participate in God’s mission.
What resources are available?
Students will have access to support raising training that gives them step-by-step material to achieve their fundraising efforts.

As you being the journey of raising funds you will receive a weekly support update from Resonate Finance Team that includes each donor’s name & gift amount as well as an update on the total raised & the remaining amount left to be raised. Additionally, you will have a support coach who will check in with you weekly to help you achieve your fundraising goals.
