Youth Quests offers short-term mission trips for teens and youth groups. Ministers specialize in working with troubled teens. Youth Quests' mission trips focus on evangelism, building projects, assisting in orphanages, and humanitarian work. Most of the program's African mission trips are to Kenya, though Youth Quests provides the option to arrange travel to other African countries.
Youth With a Mission offers both short-term volunteering opportunities and long-term training through its Discipleship Training School. This group does not have a central location; instead, contact the mission you are interested in working for, and arrange your trip from there. Youth With a Mission has more than 30 missions in Africa.
Adventures in Missions offers four-week trips to Africa for kids in high school, ages14 to 18, and semester-long trips for those of college age, 18 to 22. Destinations include Cameroon, Uganda, Kenya, Swaziland and South Africa. Mission objectives and activities differ depending on the location.
