Introduction

 This section is designed to help your youth group grow in love for others through Christ. Click on the "Youth Mission Opportunities" link to the left to open a Web site where you will find diverse opportunities through which youth can be in mission.

Your youth group is invited to use these pages to find an ideal work site that matches your group's gifts and situation. You may want to take a weeklong mission trip or just one afternoon during the school year. Either way, the contact person listed under each ministry can help you plan your trip. These organizations and churches welcome groups of youth with adult supervision (ratio 5 to 1), as well as individual youth.

If your group plans on traveling for a couple of days or more on a mission trip, you may want to investigate the entertainment and cultural opportunities offered in the area where you are going.

Some of the ministries and pro­grams have no cost or fee listed. For the most part, this means there is no program cost and your only expense would be transportation, meals and lodging. The pro­grams that do have a cost listed, include program fees plus any lodging and meals as indicated.

After you have selected a site, call 1-800-659-0609 (Southeastern Jurisdiction Volunteers In Mission) to register your team and receive information about insurance.
