Locations

Your group could serve in one of 30 communities across the country.

Communities are our partners, friends, and the places we serve. Throughout our partnership with a community, we listen closely, speak carefully and serve humbly to understand the real needs that the community has. When youth serve on a mission trip, they get to be a part of real change by participating in the work that God is already doing in that particular community. We call this Respectful Service.

Youth Testimonies

"My faith became stronger from my mission trip. I stepped out of my comfort zone and now I'm willing and able to share my faith with others a lot more. I am more proud of who I am in Christ."

"After my mission trip, I see hardships of others more intense. I look at things differently and notice people around me that are going through a tough time"

"Our youth group became so much closer on our mission trip. When we came back home, some of us started a group where we go out in the community and help in nursing homes, or do little projects locally to help people."

"The trip had a big impact on my faith and how I view God. I understand His grace and feel more grateful for what I have. I look at the world and the people around me with a different set of eyes"

“I felt a whole new experience of helping different people and putting myself into their shoes and showing them God’s love."

Why YouthWorks?

When students and communities connect they join in the bigger story of what God is doing in the world around them. We provide meaningful Christ-centered mission trips for middle and high school students that broaden perspectives, ignite passions, expose possibilities, and inspire pursuits.

With over 30 years of investing in healthy community relationships, YouthWorks handles all the logistics so that you can focus on building relationships with your youth and adults along the way.

What Youth Leaders Are Saying

‘The quality time I get to spend with them on these mission trips helps me build deeper relationships than I could in one year of Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights.”

“Once you arrive on site the staff handles all of the details of the week. This is probably my favorite part about YouthWorks because it provides me with an ample amount of time to spend with my youth.”

“Youthworks staff did awesome assisting us through the process of preparing for our trip with a great attitude and helpful advice.”

“By having a year round presence in each community they serve, their mission trips are never about “saving” a community.”

 “YouthWorks creates great age-specific programming that resonates with my students.” 

“When I’m on a YouthWorks trip I feel I am not there to fix everything that is broken in this community, but I am coming alongside the great work God is already doing in that community.”

“Each YouthWorks trip leaves our youth and adults deeply bonded with the community, each other, and God.“
