Humanitarian Center Tour
Average Time Spent: 40-60 Min
On this guided tour of the Humanitarian Center, you’ll learn how people build job skills through a paid training program designed to foster self-reliance. Many participants are new to the country, seeking refuge, or gaining experience to prepare for future employment.
See how donated goods from Deseret Industries are sorted, recycled, and prepared for humanitarian use. You’ll also observe volunteers assembling quilts and humanitarian kits that are distributed in response to emergency needs.
As part of the tour, you’re invited to assemble a humanitarian kit yourself—offering a personal way to participate in the Savior’s teaching to “love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:39). You’ll also learn about JustServe, an online platform that connects people with local service opportunities. Tours last approximately one hour.
