THE MISSION OF WORLD CHANGERS
World Changers seeks to provide Christian youth and adults with
opportunities to meet the physical and spiritual needs of others
through practical learning experiences that teach servanthood and
personal commitment to missions.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Groups are typically housed in local schools, churches, or college facilities. Breakfast and dinner are provided cafeteria-style at the lodging site. Lunch is provided at the work site by local churches. In preparation for the week, youth are required to complete an pre-project study based on the theme Leap, including a local work project.
ABOUT PARTICIPATION
To participate in a World Changers project youth must be Christians who are actively involved in their local church ministry.
ABOUT COUNSELORS
Each church group is required to bring one counselor for every five youth participants of the same gender. Counselors must be 21 years of age or older and must reside in the same room as their youth, assist with activities, and work alongside youth on a work crew. Counselors are not allowed to bring children who are ineligible because of grade level to participate in the project. No private sleeping arrangements or other arrangements are available for counselors with children or for couples.
ABOUT COLLEGE-AGE YOUTH
College students may attend All-Youth Construction, Community, and Senior High Projects. They will be part of a college-age crew if enough are registered for that project. College students may not serve as chaperones unless they are 21 years of age or older. If a college age student attends an All Youth Construction, Community, or Senior High project, they are required to attend with a church group and pay the registration fee for that particular project, not the discounted collegiate fee.
ABOUT ALL-YOUTH CONSTRUCTION AND COMMUNITY PROJECTS
Youth must have completed one of the grades 6-12 to participate in an All-Youth Project or Community Project. For students who have completed the sixth grade, we strongly encourage you to only bring those who have already been a part of your youth ministry. World Changers should not be the first youth trip in which a student who has just completed the sixth grade participates.
ABOUT SENIOR HIGH PROJECTS
Youth must have completed one of the grades 9-12 to participate in a Senior High Project.
ABOUT COLLEGIATE PROJECTS
College projects are provided for those students that are in college and want to experience a World Changer Project. The preference is for college students to attend with their church and/or college group, but are allowed to attend alone.
