Participants are selected through an application process. For students in grade 11 or 12. Applicants must be nominated by an adult leader (e.g. pastor, youth pastor, principal, teacher, counselor, etc.). For more information and nomination forms, visit their website at www.calvinseminary.edu/fyf/index.php

CHRISTIAN REFORMED WORLD MISSIONS - SUMMER MISSION PROGRAM (SMP)
SMP is a way for college-age students and young adults to experience a life-changing summer! SMP participants experience cross-cultural missions and learn from missionaries who are being used by God to declare His kingdom worldwide. This eight-week program stresses spiritual growth, learning through service, and increased knowledge of Gods Kingdom. Participants must be at least 18 years old or attending college to participate.
For 2009 locations, applications, prices, and more, visit the SMP website at: www.crwm.org/smp. In the past, SMP teams have served in Eastern Europe, Guatemala, Guinea, Japan, Mali, Mexico, Niger, Nigeria, and many other countries around the world! Most teams leave for their location in early June and return to North America in early August. Cost varies by location.

Scholarships
Think for a moment of the kids in your group and their friends or the church down the street from you. Would financial assistance encourage them to go on a YU Mission Trip Experience? Could it be an experience that would change their lives? You’ve seen it happen before, help it happen now. The Youth Unlimited Scholarship Team will be accepting applications this Fall. Contact YU for more information.
