169 teenagers headed to Sugar Hill to 'make a difference'

SUGAR HILL - This summer more than 23,000 students have made a decision to pay money out of their own pockets in order to help improve living conditions for people across the United States and Canada... and some of them are headed to Sugar Hill.

One-hundred-sixty-nine students will be in Sugar Hill the week of July 25 working on a variety of assignments that range from painting houses to putting new roofs on homes. The students come with their church youth groups, and on average pay $250 to take part in the World Changers program.

This summer, 95 World Changers projects will take place in more than 85 cities nationwide. World Changers is in its 21st summer of operation and is an initiative of the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.

The students who will be working in Sugar Hill will be staying at Sugar Hill Church.
