Urban Mission Experience Program

Top of Page

Our flagship program provided room and board at a reasonable rate to mission groups, youth groups, and other volunteers coming to Jacksonville to do community service work.

​

UME consisted of dorms that slept 42 people. Space includes bathrooms, showers, a shared kitchen, laundry, and even wi-fi.

​

Unfortunately, groups are no longer traveling on mission trips because of the pandemic and there is not enough space to safely social distance properly.

​

Time to rethink. We repurposed 3 big rooms with 22 bunks to 3 big rooms for individual or coupled occupants. We turned the dorm rooms into mini-apartments, each one private to the others with personal entries.

​

AmeriCorps members and traveling healthcare workers have already taken advantage of the new arrangement.

​

It is safe. It works. It helps.
