What
happens during a typical YouthWorks day?
A typical YouthWorks day includes so much. Youth will assist in meal
preparations, participate in personal devotion time, work at the various
ministry sites, experience fun and cultural evening activities and engage in a
“club time” that includes worship, games, skits and a talk. The ministry
work incorporates a variety of opportunities to minister to the a community of
Duluth
, whether through
serving at Kids programs, visiting
the elderly, and assisting local ministry organizations.
Examples
of possible evening activities include:
*Visit
the
Maritime
Museum
and
Canal
Park
*Take
part in an educational activity
*Roller-skating
at World of Wheels
These
are just examples of what your group
might partake in during your mission week.
Safety
is our top priority.
YouthWorks sets up safe sites in which youth can do real ministry and encounter
God. Each site is run by four well-trained, organized staff. Each person is
certified in CPR and First Aid. The staff lives in the community all summer long
creating relationships and becoming very familiar with the area. Our rule of
three is set up to assure that your teenager will never be anywhere alone or
without a supervising adult. Additional rules and boundaries will be explained
on site by our staff to ensure that each person knows specific ways to
accomplish a safe and meaningful
mission trip
.
