Youth Opportunities

Help your youth group grow in their faith and serve others through a mission trip. UMVIM can help you coordinate youth teams by providing a list of youth friendly projects in the United States and around the world. Give them a life-changing experience of putting Christian love in action.

On the USA opportunities links, you will note a code at the end of each project - 'J' or 'S'

This indicates that the projects are acceptable for Junior High 'J' or Senior High 'S'
