High School Mission Trip 2023

We are so excited to introduce our first High School Mission Trip this summer!

This week will be full of service, building relationship, and fun!

The trip is described by Youth Mission Co. as:

"Located in the mountains of North Carolina, Asheville Youth Mission gives young people an opportunity to explore the hidden needs and struggles of those who are living on the margins within and around a beautiful tourist town. Groups will work with a variety of agencies working with those who are homeless, in poverty, or food insecure, both in urban and rural settings."

This trip is open to all current 9th-12th graders

Cost is $420 and includes travel, lodging, meals, and all activities
