Youth 4 Justice Pilgrimage

Details

Saturday, February 15 - Monday, February 17, 2025

St. Louis, Missouri

Join us for an annual President’s Day weekend pilgrimage.

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (St. Paul’s Indy) and MLK Center Indy invite youth in grades 7–12 to participate in a transformative journey over President’s Day weekend. This annual pilgrimage (Cincinnati, OH in 2024 and St. Louis, MO in 2025) is an opportunity to build community, deepen understanding of African American history and inspire youth leadership and activism.

The trip will be led by leadership from St. Paul’s Indy and MLK Center Indy, creating a supportive and inspiring environment for all participants.

Lodging will be provided by Centenary United Methodist Church in St. Louis, Missouri.

Attractions on the itinerary include Gateway Arch, City Museum (not really a museum), The Griot Museum and more.

Please note:

  • Required Sessions: To participate, youth must attend four preparation and reflection sessions—two before and two after the trip.

  • Registration Deadline: Friday, January 17, 2025

Goals

  • Foster connections between youth, adults and the people we encounter along the way.

  • Learn about African American history, confront present-day injustices and explore ways to combat racism.

  • Develop youth leadership skills and encourage activism to make a positive difference.
