We're excited you want to go and serve Young Life! Each summer we offer one to two Open Teams per international division designed for people without a team of their own. Our Expeditions are typically designed for 18 years and above with the exception of the U.S. Expeditions. However, we do make exceptions based on level of maturity and Young Life involvement. So if you are a junior or senior in high school and would like to apply for an we will need two references including one from a Young Life staff. If you don't see an opportunity below that works for your schedule or desired location there may be a way to add you to a group already on the calendar. Complete this individual inquiry form and let us your preferences.Also we're excited to announce Young Life Alumni & Friends and Young Life Expeditions are teaming up to offer Encounters — a few spectacular Expeditions planned annually for those who've had a touch with Young Life past or present the opportunity to go, see and engage with Young Life in a bucket list destination.
