Chicago
Living Faithfully in a Broken City (Christianity & Poverty)

Olive Branch Mission through their International Centre for Training and Research will provide contextualized education and service opportunities and unique real-time experiential training provides a survey of city life and cultures, and involves participant observation, readings, lectures, volunteer service and exploration of Christian community and public transportation.
