Get in Touch

The first step to participating in Mission Adventures is to get in touch with our admin team. We will guide you through the process and help find the best outreach location for you.

For individual applicants aged 15-18, we will endeavour to have a conversation with both you and your parents prior to application.

Confirm Outreach Location

Individual applicants will have designated outreach locations to chose from. Group leaders will have the option of any other available location that has not been designated for Individuals.

As far as possible, our hope is to send everyone to the outreach of their choice and the earlier an application is submitted the more likely that the desired outreach will still be available, as they are assigned on a ‘first come first serve’ basis. 

Apply

Once your outreach location has been confirmed by the admin team, you’ll be sent a link to apply to that specific outreach in our application system (ServiceReef). Every team member must go through a full safe recruitment process including application, references and background checks for over 18s.

It is helpful for group leaders to apply first so we can assign them admin permissions, and they can help manage the applications for the rest of their group. For youth applicants under 18, they will need a parent to create an account first, and then add their child to their ‘household’ in ServiceReef. This allows parents to help their child complete their own application and the subsequent tasks assigned to them, as well as be access all the relevant documentation (kit list, code of conduct, etc) and be copied into communications with their child. 

Purchase Neighbours & Nations Camp Mission Track Tickets (functions as a deposit)

Tickets to Neighbours and Nations Camp Mission Track will need to be purchased via our booking system (SolidRock). £50 of the purchase price of Neighbours and Nation Camp Mission Track tickets (£150) will serve as the non-refundable deposit to participate in the Mission Track/Mission Adventures outreach. This will cover a number of administrative related expenses that are incurred by YWAM Harpenden during the lead up to Mission Adventures in order to process applications, get the relevant documents in order, and facilitate the outreaches. 

Flights & Travel Insurance

After we have received all team members applications, references, and DBS checks if required, then we can begin purchasing flights. In most cases, we use a travel agent to arrange a group booking to ensure, whenever possible, that all team members travel on the same flight, including YWAM outreach leaders. It is best to book as early as possible as flight prices tend to increase nearer the date of travel. All participants are also required to have their own travel insurance (or group policy) which includes repatriation and a minimum of £1 million liability coverage. Please see FAQ section for more info on insurance requirements.

Pay Outreach Fees

Fundraising for a mission trip is an incredible opportunity to see God provide. This can come from generous gifts from family and friends, through grants or other donations, or from serving and fundraising as a group. We will invoice the church for the remaining outreach fees of £400 per person. We understand that fundraising takes time so the payment is not due until 30 days prior to the start of the programme. This ensures we have enough time to arrange currency conversions and make any necessary transfers before your arrival.
