CRIC High School Pay It Forward Tour Information:

All STLF High School Pay It Forward Tours visit four cities over the course of five days.  We will carry out a service project in each of those communities visited, work with a variety of organizations, and visit one or two college campuses.  Through evening activities and reflection, the Tour is an opportunity to build meaningful relationships and learn about issues affecting communities across the country and your own.  Each High School Pay It Forward Tour consists of up to 40 high school students and five to seven college students/adult community members.

CRIC High School Tour Route:

Sleepy Eye, MN --> Sioux Falls, SD --> Lincoln, NE --> Lawrence, KS --> Kansas City, MO

*We will likely have a pick-up/drop-off in St. James as well!*

All CRIC Schools Welcome:

Even though most STLF Pay It Forward Tours are carried out in partnership with a specific high school, the program is open to all students from schools in the Cottonwood River Integration Collaborative.  These schools include New Ulm, Sleepy Eye, St. James, Cedar Mountain, Springfield, and Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop.  It is a great way to meet people from different schools and communities, and build lasting friendships.

Cost and Financial Aid:

The cost of the STLF High School Pay It Forward Tour will vary depending on what school you attend, but will not exceed $175!  The fee for all students is a significantly subsidized rate thanks to integration funding to increase access to the program for all students.  For questions about cost and to submit payment, please refer to the main contact at your school:

• SLEEPY EYE - Nadia Crooker (nadia.crooker@sleepyeye.mntm.org)
• ST. JAMES - Shawna Asendorf (sasendorf@isd840.org)
• REDWOOD FALLS - Rachel Karnitz (rkarnitz@redwood.mntm.org)
• SPRINGFIELD - Jeff Kuehn (jeff.kuehn@springfield.mntm.org)
