Our Invitation: Every Tuesday, Thursday & Friday we open up the teen center to foster a place for students to find help with their homework, and also a place for them to develop healthy relationships with adults where they can be kids, be themselves, and discover more of who they were created to be.
Responsibilities:
- Getting information from students for personal facts (i.e. birthdays, favorite food/candy, favorite movies, favorite thing to do in down-time)
- Compiling a calendar of upcoming events and closures to be displayed in an open area
- Set up teen center in a manner that is conducive to studying/doing homework, as well as gathering for games or group activity
- Communicate with students via Remind or Solidarity's Instagram group if there is something special going on, whether that is a special event during program or an office closure
- Coordinate rides for special outings
- Create and distribute permission slips for group outings
- Check in with each student on how their grades are keeping up and help them come up with an action plan to get the grades up as needed

Mission Statement
We equip under-resourced individuals, families, and neighborhoods for community transformation.
Description
In 2002, a small group of college students from Hope International University was compelled to rediscover God’s heart for The Church. They wanted to change the world for Jesus, but had no clue how to. Armed with only a naive desire to love others well, it was almost as if they stumbled onto this path that God had been carving for years. This group of eight college students walked into a low income, gang-ridden neighborhood in Fullerton, CA and began to participate in the things God was already doing in the community. The college students came in to "serve", to "fix", and to "change" the neighborhood for Christ, but instead fell deeply in love with a community, its people, and the rich culture.
This is the story of Solidarity. This is a story of a community of believers who have joined in with what God has been doing in neighborhoods in Fullerton. This is a story of a group of broken individuals who, in elated seasons of joy or cavernous moments of pain and despair, are always trying to choose the path that leads toward depth with Jesus. This is a story of a few outsiders who have been transformed as they had the honor of experiencing the neighbors of the communities rise up to become the strength of the city.
You are invited into this story.
