YOUTH CAMPS & MISSIONS

YWJ's 2009 Guide to Missions and Fundraising

By Amy L. Lee | Editor, YouthWorker Journal | November 2009

There's a wide cast of characters in your youth group—the sports aficionado, the class clown, the techy geek, the music lover and a myriad of others. They have plenty in common, too, such as their willingness to use their unique differences in the world around them. They, as do we all, have a profound need to do something with the person God is calling them to be. They just need experience in order to find out what it is they are being called to do.

Good news: As their youth leader, you have a wide range of options from which to choose to help your students plug in and reach out. In the following pages, you'll find information about a few of the organizations that can help you determine the right fit for your group and its members' capacity to serve.

Does your group need to stay local; or are your students ready to venture a little further, perhaps even globally? Do you have students who like playing with children, or would they prefer to serve the elderly? No matter what type of opportunities speak to their hearts, there's a place for them to serve. Read on to find out more.
