Engage • Empower • Educate

Our Mission

Saints & Scholars, Inc. is a service learning (“saints”) and education (“scholars”) program. We combine both service and comprehensive curriculum that builds community leaders, critical thinkers and global citizens.

We seek to empower individuals through the arts and education as active agents for change, advancing personal and professional development through national and international service-learning opportunities. We are a U.S.-based, non-denominational, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Our arts service corps is committed to delivering art programming to underserved communities throughout the U.S. and abroad. The arts become a vehicle for expression and communication.

Our organization offers service-learning programs (Saints) and intercultural, global education, and career mentorship (Scholars) for teens and young adults. These comprehensive, creative, hands-on, real-life learning opportunities are what makes us unique.

Our service programming includes community service learning opportunities of varying durations, such as 15-hour and 30-hour CSL projects, which often contribute toward high school graduation requirements.

We will soon offer 30-hour remote community service-learning (CSL), self-driven projects, available through our upcoming Patreon platform.

Young adults can join us during week-long, immersion service projects each summer.

Words from our Contributors

“Saints & Scholars provided me with a new way to look at the world. Working with the refugees helped me feel fortunate of my own background, but also empathetic to those whose circumstances are compromised. We are all humans underneath our exteriors. I hope to use my Saints & Scholars experience to help me become a more authentic actor as I pursue my passion for theater.”

Saints & Scholars provided an insider’s access that directly connects you to organizations where community and altruism are valued. I look forward to coming back soon and becoming more integrated in Saints & Scholars next year!”
