The EXtra Mile

Service Project Reporting Form

If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.

—Jesus (Matthew 5:41)

Going the extra mile is about choosing to live generously. It’s about practicing servant leadership, participating as part of a team, and training ourselves to find and execute opportunities to serve others.

Welcome to the Relay Exchange program for high school aged Relay Exchange girls and their moms called the eXtra mile. It is our hope that this program will foster continued connectedness for groups through the high school years, provide leadership opportunities for the girls, and encourage community service together. These groups will also be an avenue for fostering connection between the moms during the high school years when the girls are busier and less available. The focus of these groups will be leadership, teamwork, and service.

Who Can Participate?

  • Upper middle and high school aged girls who have either aged out of or completed all years of the Relay Exchange curriculum, and their mothers.

  • Any additional high school aged girl and her mother who are invited by an existing group to join their group for high school.

What Do Groups Do?

  • Organize and participate in community service efforts, perhaps geared toward organizations served by the Relay Exchange group during Hands and Feet.

  • During these years, the girls will carry increasing responsibility to plan the projects, providing the girls with leadership opportunities. 

  • There is no minimum number of meetings or projects that must be completed, but groups are asked to fill out a simple form reporting projects to the Relay Exchange website (see above). At the end of the year, the girls would be recognized on the website and/or on Relay Exchange social media for their efforts. 

  • We encourage the mothers in the group to meet separately from the girls to discuss parenting issues, to pray for one another, or to participate in a book club geared toward parenting or spiritual growth.
