High School Mission Trips: Change the World; Define Yourself

“They never tell you in training camp how this experience will change you. It’s not the same as traveling or just experiencing another culture… you see things, everything, differently…”
–Mission Trip Participant

On a mission trip with Adventures in Missions, you will join other high-school students for a journey to some of the most interesting and exotic places on earth.

These mission trips are for anyone 14-18 years old and vary in length from as short as two weeks to as long as a month.

The focus is not just on ministry, but also on the discipleship that a student will receive. It’s about changing the world and defining yourself in the process. Below are some stories and articles that may help you decide why an AIM high school mission trip is right for you.

Where You’ll Go:

While mission locations vary each year, we send students to locations where they will be stretched spiritually and challenged to grow, while providing opportunities for them to serve in meaningful and rewarding ways. In the past, high school students have gone on trips to places like Guatemala, Ireland, Mexico, Uganda,Costa Rica, the Philippines, Haiti, and more.
