For over a decade, Love Thy Neighborhood ran a Summer Urban Missions Program and a Gap Year Urban Missions Program, providing young adults ages 18-30 with hands-on opportunities to serve in urban communities. Throughout those years, many people expressed interest in launching similar programs in their own contexts.

To support those who want to create their own mission-focused initiatives for young adults, we’ve created LTN in a Box. This resource is a comprehensive guide that includes everything you need to get started, from foundational documents to recruitment strategies and programming outlines. Our goal is to make it easier for you to launch and sustain a successful urban missions program. We hope LTN in a Box serves as a valuable tool as you embark on your journey to engage and empower young adults in meaningful service.
