Mission and Outreach
Super Serve Saturday is BACK and better than EVER!
We have adapted to COVID so that people can still serve in meaningful ways to support local partnerships. There are family friendly options, no contact options, options to serve at home, and limited numbers to keep with COVID guidelines.
Brief descriptions of each of the partners/projects are below. For a detailed description for each place as well as safety measures taken - please visit http://hydeparkchurch.org/super-serve-saturday/
Serve with Wesley Chapel Mission Center in Over the Rhine for mentoring/learning with the STAR Club kids:
- 10:15a -12:45p at Wesley Chapel Mission Center (70 E McMicken Ave)
- Volunteers need to be age 14 and up (anyone younger, ages 4-13, would need to come with a parent and participate in the program like the other children attending)
- A tutoring opportunity (STAR stands for Science, Technology, Arithmetic, and Reading) working with children pre-K to 6th grade.
- Instead of meeting at the church, you will go directly to Wesley Chapel Mission in Over-the-Rhine. After enjoying a nutritious breakfast, PreK-6th grade children work one-on-one with volunteers on homework or materials provided by WCMC. Through this program, we are able to support and encourage the work that goes on in school. Students are invited based on the number of volunteers we have, so we are always looking for help in this area.
- Please wear comfortable shoes, clothes, and bring a water bottle and mask.

- Safety Measures in Place? All students and volunteers will have a health check prior to entering our buildings. Hands are to be washed as soon as you enter. Masks should be worn by students, staff and volunteers throughout the day. Please bring your own mask and a water bottle.
