Volunteering your time means more to people in need than you can imagine.
World Servants intergenerational trips are designed for any person of any age. You will serve along with a diverse community and grow together as you use your own set of skills, talents, life perspectives and experiences. We offer reduced fees for children age 8 or younger on the first day of the trip.
Designed to impact lives, our youth mission trips (both faith or non faith-based) are intended for teenagers, young adults and college-age students, working to support your efforts to enhance the influence of youth leaders and the lives of each participant, while they serve others as Jesus did.
Our short-term mission trips provide a powerful and meaningful opportunity to expand a person’s worldview and experience by serving people in need. Whether this is your first or twentieth time participating in the mission field, you will be profoundly affected as you play a role in the larger story God is creating in the world.
Add mission to your business. Promote a sense of community and global responsibility by engaging your employees and partners in a visionary trip. Our trips are uniquely designed to impact communities while building morale, a sense of camaraderie and shared commitment to helping the world around you.
Is there something upon your heart we haven’t mentioned? We will design a trip that is meaningful focused on dignity, sustainable community development and the way in which you’re passionate to serve (domestically or globally). Work one-on-one with a Community Specialist to plan your trip. Groups of any size are welcome.
World Servants has experience facilitating mission trips for Christian radio stations and their listeners across America. These unique trips create an environment where listeners meet, serve together and return home to make an major impact in their own communities and beyond.

Help Us Keep Our Missions Going
Getting started can seem like a daunting task. We’ve been doing this for over 30 years and are eager to help get you started! Here are a few of the questions you may have about World Servants trips. If you still have unanswered questions, feel free to contact us for answers.
All World Servants short-term trips have 3 main components:

You do not need any construction experience to participate on a short-term mission trip with us. There will be someone available at each site to teach what is needed to complete the project. This is a great time for adults to teach new skills to their students, or parents to their children. There is always something for small children to do also, such as carrying tools and supplies or other simple tasks; they always take pride in being needed.
The cost of international trips will vary by location and are priced per person.
Most domestic and Mexico border trips are $595 per person plus a $100 per person construction donation.
