Join a Summer Service Team
Are you interested in stepping out of your comfort zone by…
- Hosting groups of all ages for service trips that will change their lives ?
- Networking with local non-profits and building relationships in the Twin Cities?
- Leading cultural immersion trips?
- Speaking on issues such as homelessness, prostitution, and cultural sensitivity to mission groups?
- Living in Christian community with 2-3 other young adults?
If so, Latreia wants YOU to join a summer team!
What does Latreia's summer team program look like?
The summer team will live in Minneapolis, serving as on-site hosts for summer mission groups of all ages. They coordinate service projects, facilitate nightly reflection, and lead cultural immersion activities with groups.
How do I apply?
Send a cover letter and resume to Kelly at kelly@latreia.org to apply. Please be sure to include references to past service trip experience and volunteerism.
Other questions you might have:
Latreia has a partner service organization in North Minneapolis. You will live in your own private room for the summer!
Summer teamers should be 18 years or older.
- Is the volunteer work evangelistic?
Only in the sense that it is sharing the love of Christ. Latreia, as an organization, believes that people should share about Christ through relationships and daily interactions. We believe in the importance of sharing the gospel but not at the cost of seeming like we are trying to 'win' people instead of love them.
Training:
You will have the opportunity to participate in a young adult mission trip as part of your training! The dates are June 1-3, 2007.
Work: This begins immediately following training and ends August 12, 2007.
- What is my salary and how much do I need to raise?
Your salary is $2,000 for your 10 week summer. You will need to raise half of this amount ($1,000).
- What if I don't know how to fundraise?
Latreia provides everything you need to help you partner with your family and friends. This is their opportunity to be involved with your mission work! Some people are called to go, others are called to send, and we will help you find your ‘senders'! A fundraising packet is provided.
- When will I find out if I've been accepted to be on team?
Applicants are accepted on a rolling basis. You should find out within 3-4 weeks of your initial application! It's never too early to apply so don't wait!
