When you spend a night at Saint John’s, you’re stepping into a place of rest and renewal—a chance to recharge within the historic walls of a former seminary that has stood for generations. But your stay also creates renewal for someone else. The profits from your room could provide a semester of college prep support for a teenager in Detroit through New City Kids.

For many teens in under-resourced communities, the idea of college can feel distant or even impossible. College prep changes that trajectory. Over the course of a semester, students receive tutoring, test prep, help with applications and financial aid, and one-on-one mentorship. They gain more than academic skills—they discover confidence, direction, and the belief that their future holds real opportunity.

And it doesn’t stop there. With each semester of support, teens become role models for their peers, encouragement for their families, and leaders in their neighborhoods. One season of guidance can spark a ripple effect that carries through entire communities.

Your night of peace here at Saint John’s becomes a season of possibility for a young person—an investment not only in their education, but in the hope and stability of the world they will help build.
