MATES has as its core value spending time with people who are in need. We see that these experiences of solidarity capture the hearts of students in a very unique way and engage their being at all levels.

Along with compansionship and solidarity an important focus of local activities is to actively do things for others.

These experiences challenge our students to think about who they are and how they view their world.

It is possible to regard this as an emerging spirituality for our young people.
