The Friends Program is a dedicated group of men and women who work with the inner city's most at risk youth. They work to instill hope, academics and fellowship in the lives of young people who have few alternatives to constructive growth.

The People's House started as a referral service in 1994 to effectively meet the needs of community members by creating synergy and collaboration among service providers in the nation's capital. In 2006, the People's House received the DC Office of Neighborhood Services Community Action Award for directly meeting needs in Ward 7 by providing emergency food, clothing, recent and utilities assistance, education and employment assistance, transportation assistance and legal referrals.

Time: 10 hours a month
Our volunteer mentor program connects loving consistent adults in one-on-one relationships with high-risk children ages 6-16 in Southeast, D.C. With training and support, mentors spend approximately ten hours per month with their mentees encouraging them to grow into healthy, thriving young people. Christ taught that we must become childlike to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Many of the young people in Southeast DC, however, face daily realities that prevent them from experiencing childhood now. We believe that mentoring allows children the chance to be children today and mature, but child-like believers in the future. You can serve as a mentor to a child/teen today and make a lasting difference. Contact us at sekids@gmail.com, 202.575.3337 for more information.

The Intern Program consists of full-time, in-house volunteers, typically college-age or young professional that are available to assist and support SEWH programs and maintain its facilities. Interns are exposed to an urban culture and given time to reflect and learn about their experiences.
