In a couple of words, how did you hear about Vincentian Leadership Institute at St. John's?

The program fee for Faith and Service in the City is $100. This includes six days of room and board on the St. John’s University Queens campus, all program materials, and all excursions associated with the program. The fee does not cover the total cost of the program, which is subsidized by a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment’s High School Youth Theology Program. We have a limited number of partial and full scholarships for students who cannot afford this cost or are not assisted by their schools or parishes. Please contact Dr. Joann Heaney-Hunter at heaneyhj@stjohns.edu for further information.
