The Koinonia Project

What exactly is The Koinonia Project? the word Koinonia is a Greek word that means Communion, Community, Joint Participation, and Intimacy. The word itself has been coined by Christianity and used as a religious term but our program will be suited for religious and non-religious schools, and we can modify the program and make a tailor-made solution to meet the desires of the school. With that being said the goal remains consistent with each client.  This is the sole intention behind our program. We have noticed a significant increase in mental health issues, depression, lack of connection, and lack of community in our school systems for years. This is between Students, Parents, and Teachers. It seems as if nowadays everyone is simply going through the motions of the school system and not seizing all of the opportunities they offer. We believe with our program that we will be able to solve many issues including student loneliness, lack of belonging, and lack of meaningful connections. 

Services

Freshman Retreat

The freshman retreat will be a 3-day experience that will take place at the very beginning of the student's freshman year. This will be a more outdoor experience focusing on teamwork, leadership, and bonding. This will also bridge the gap between middle school and high school and allow students to engage with new faces. 

 

Senior Retreat

The senior retreat will be a 3-day experience that will take place in smaller groups and will focus on empathy, connection, and emotion. This will be a great way for students to be empathetic towards their classmates and will also help them reflect on their own experiences. This is meant to be an emotionally impactful experience that will carry with them after high school and into the real world.
