United Church of God

Good Works, Youth Corps and the Legacy Institute

Below you can find the details of this amazing project, as well as the volunteer chosen to attend.

The Legacy Institute is a non-profit organization that “seeks to improve the quality of life of people everywhere, both spiritually and physically” (http://www.legacyinstitute.org/mainoutreachprojects.htm). One aspect of the Legacy Institute is the Legacy Foundation; the foundation sponsors a number of projects in Thailand, including the Legacy Leadership Training Center. Located in Chiang Mai, the purpose of the center is to improve the quality of life of the underprivileged. The students are generally from the hill areas of Thailand and Burma.

In the past, United Church of God, through United Youth Corps has partnered with the Legacy Institute to provide volunteer opportunities for young adults; these volunteers have served as teachers at the Legacy Leadership Training Center. We are happy to once again be rekindling this partnership. Good Works has agreed to sponsor a volunteer to travel to Thailand this summer. We will update shortly with more specifics.
