Adopt-A-Student Host 2025

Sign up to “adopt” a college student for the school year. As a host, you will pray for, check in with, and share life with a student throughout the school year. You don’t need to have all the answers—just a heart to show up and be present. A text, meal, or invite into daily life can make a lasting impact. Commit to building a meaningful, intergenerational relationship rooted in Christ. Email college@socc.org for more information.
