Global Awareness Club is a group based on service to the community, nation, and world. The mission of our club is based on Mark 12:30-31, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these. Our main goal is to love God and to love people. Global Awareness accomplishes this by serving others in need both locally in our community and internationally by organizing service projects that benefit people outside the walls of Valley Lutheran High School.
