College Age FAQ
Am I eligible to go on a YMI College Age Mission Experience?
Here are our qualifications for College Age Mission participants:
- High School Graduate to 23 years old.
- Need to have recommendations from church leadership.
- Need to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
How do I sign up?
Go to www.ymimissions.org and download a College Age Application from the College Age Page.
After I sign up, what's next?
You will be contacted by two YMI representatives who will conduct a phone interview with you. You will be contacted shortly after to let you know if you have been selected.
What happens after I'm selected?
If you're selected, you will receive a packet of information telling you what country you will be going to, who is on your team, and what missionary you will be serving with. You will also be told how much you need to fund raise for the trip. Then, it will be up to you to start your preparation.
