The St. Vincent de Paul JUNIORS, over the years, have thrived when they are given service opportunities!  Each year, we plan activities according to the students' interests, some of which have been:​

• Assemble care packages/school backpacks for individuals experiencing homelessness
• Meal assembly for Camp United We Stand
• Potential field trips to the Georgetown St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank, Tent City, and Hopelink
• Assisting the St. Luke STVdP Conference sponsored Christmas and Thanksgiving Baskets
• Collecting non-food items for the St. Luke STVdP Conference Food Locker
• Serving at the Tri-Parish Food Bank in Burlington, WA
• Trash clean-up at nearby parks
• Additional ways to serve determined by the group

• Planning meetings
• Off-campus service day opportunities are spread throughout the year. They could include weekend and weekday evenings. The weekday evenings may include assembly meetings to prepare for upcoming service days. These have included Lego building/Christmas Candy sorting to include in the Christmas Stockings as well as food assembly of donated meals for those experiencing homelessness.
• Not all service opportunities are required to attend.  

• A parent/guardian must be in attendance with their JUNIOR for planning meetings as well as off-campus service days (not all service days will be required).
• JUNIORS will come to meetings ready to respectfully participate in discussion and to service days prepared to work for the duration of the event. 
• A parent/guardian should be prepared to help guide activities, act as chaperones during service days, and work just as hard as their kids!
• A parent/guardian will be responsible for their child's transportation for all service days. 

Mission: Our call to care for others; to love our neighbor. 

• The St. Vincent de Paul Society is unique, instead of those in need going to a location to receive assistance, the Adult Vincentians go out. Two-by-two, St. Vincentians go out to those in need visiting them where they live.
• St Vincent de Paul JUNIORS started with the interest of a seventh grade student who wanted to learn more about St. Vincent de Paul.  His intrigue expanded from a mere writing assignment in Mrs. Fargo’s St. Luke School seventh grade class, to attending a St. Luke St. Vincent de Paul’s Conference meeting and then visiting the Georgetown Food Bank with the conference president.  The JUNIORS program started the following fall in 2017, comprised of six 6-8th grade students and two adult advisors. This group was and remains the first of its kind in the Pacific Northwest and has grown to over 33 students with 32 accompanying parents and guardians this past year.
