Get in Touch
Our admin team would love to answer any questions you might have about the programme, outreach locations, or application process, so first things first, send us an email through the contact section of the website and let us know you’re interested in coming! We can help guide you through the rest of the process based on the interests and make-up of your group.
Apply & Pay Registration Fee
The youth worker will need to fill out the online application form to register their group, and subsequently have each team member fill out their personal application form. Once we know the total number of people in your group, we will send the church/youth worker an invoice for the non-refundable £50 per person registration fee, to be paid within 30 days of receiving the invoice.
Application Form Below
Confirmation of Outreach Location
Once we have received the initial application from the youth worker, we will get in touch with them to discuss and confirm outreach location. 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 is still available, as they are assigned first come first serve. We will keep the website up to date regarding which options are available as locations fill up.
References & Background Checks
All participants are required to provide two references, the references are to be filled out by a parent/youth leader/pastor etc, depending on the type of application. All participants aged 18 or over must also have or apply for a current DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certificate, which is subscribed to the update service. Whenever possible, the DBS check should be instigated through the sending church, if this is not possible, please contact the Mission Adventures admin team.
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 Programme Fee
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 programme fees of £500 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.
