The Big Lift!
One month ago, 36 students departed on an eight day adventure to travel and serve in six cities across their country in eight days. These students were from Sydney, those six cities were in Australia, and it wasn't an STLF program at all, but it was a brand new program called The Big Lift!

Serving and Learning Outdoors
To find an organization that could organize a service learning project for hundreds and have the capacity and the tools to carry it out seemed unlikely. Prior to that Tour over 2 years ago though, we stumbled across an incredible organization: the Forest Preserve District of Cook County.

United Way Giving
One thing that many are unaware of though, is the ability to designate your United Way gift to any charity of your choosing. Even though STLF is not formally a United Way agency, you can still designate your gift by writing in STLF on your gift form.
