Public Education
The Mustard Seed is committed to creating opportunities for people to explore and gain an understanding of issues of poverty and social justice and how they can respond to them.
- Volunteer and Student Placements
Threaded throughout the Street Level ministries’ programs are volunteer opportunities and student placements that allow people from all walks of life outside of the inner city to experience and identify with the issues of marginalized people.
- School Programs
Why is there poverty? Who is poor? What can we do about it? These and other questions are discussed in a fun, engaging format for junior and senior high classes.
- Explore! Seminars
A free public issues seminar, “Explore!” is held the last Monday of each month from 7-9pm and is open to everyone who wants to ‘explore’ issues surrounding poverty in a deeper way. Check out our upcoming Explore! Seminars.
- Street Retreats
Opportunity for groups of 10-20 to spend a weekend in the inner to learn more about the issues of poverty.

- Social Issues Walk - Participants in this walk will explore the different reasons behind why people come to the inner city, as well as some of the issues that affect people once they get there. (Groups of maximum 7 people to participate.)
- Bible/Prayer Walk - While walking in the neighbourhood, group members will examine various passages in the Bible that highlight God's heart for the poor and marginalized. There will also be opportunities to pray for the members of our community at the different stopping points. (Groups of maximum 7 people to participate.)
