- Spiritual Growth: Your young adult will work with other youth for the good of a family in need—meaning they will have the chance to serve God and their neighbors, being Christ’s hands and feet in this world. Through morning and evening programs, they will have opportunities to connect their work with their faith, in the company of caring adults and their peers.
- Compassion: Being immersed in a community in need and building relationships with the residents they serve is eye-opening and soul-shifting-and an important catalyst for growing beyond a self-focused perspective and discovering the ever-lasting joy of helping others.
- Confidence/Self-worth: The secret behind every mission trip is not in the actual tasks accomplished, but in the transformation that occurs when our young people realize what it feels like to reach beyond themselves and serve and love others.
- Responsibility: Your teenager will work in a crew of 4-5 other teenagers and 2 adult leaders at an assigned location to complete a service project for a family in need over the course of 5 days. Every member of the crew has an important role which includes ownership of specific responsibilities, learning effective time management, and being a valuable and equal contributor to the team.
- Teamwork/Relationships: By working together as a team with one common goal, your teenager will learn how to navigate relationships, utilize effective communication, and discover the satisfaction of accomplishing a project that is bigger than each of them individually.
- Resilience/Problem Solving: While mission trips are fun, they are not vacations and teenagers may likely face challenges such as hard work, dealing with new/different people, etc. Every year crews find creative and clever solutions to overcome obstacles and accomplish their tasks, and learn how to persevere, ask questions, work together, and thrive.
