Greetings VOBSters,

Well it's February... where did January go? While we don't know how time can sometimes go by so quickly, what we do know is that our 2021 has started off with a bang!

We've kicked off our season and are thrilled to welcome students back to course. Whether it's on expedition in Minnesota and Texas or through our virtual programming, after a year like 2020, it feels good to have students in the "field."

We look forward to what's in store for 2021 and we thank you for being part of our crew!

With gratitude,
Your VOBS Crew

"Madie is an Intercept alum, and one could argue that if Madie and her family did not choose change, she might not be the Minnesotan she is today."

MISSION MOMENT

"Compassion is my compass because it reminds me that given a common goal, people can come together to achieve great things.

The world is not black and white, we need to remember all of the gray areas where our commonality resides."
