Youth Summer Programs — The GO Project

GO Beyond: Youth Summer Program

Youth Mission Projects are our longest-running programs! GO was started by a youth group and their desire to go on a mission trip while living into their own beliefs, values, and understanding of Christ in the world. They struggled to find a partner organization that shared those values while also being inclusive, and so, they created their own mission experience in Toronto. Since 2007, we have expanded our youth programs to seven cities and towns across the country and hope to continue to grow.

Our overnight programs currently run for 8-days and nights. During the program, participants and staff reside at the host church, cook and eat together, serve with local environmental and social justice organizations, and discern how they are being called into action in their own lives and communities through discernment workshops. Youth programs provide the mission trip experience without having to leave Canada, and for a fraction of the cost.

Our hope is that each participant and staff have an ‘aha-moment’ while at GO, serving others, breaking bread together, and having fun with one another, and can leave the program with an action plan on how they can act and serve with their own gifts and skills in their communities. In the past, GO Project participants have created community gardens, meal programs, and resolved to offer their time and gifts in various other ways.

Many participants come as individuals, but return home upon the conclusion of the program having developed close friendships with the other members of the group. In order to maintain a leader : participant ratio which ensures the safety of everyone involved, we ask that groups of five or more youth be accompanied by a volunteer leader. Each program has three to four staff who facilitate the entire program, leaving youth ministers and group leaders the opportunity to share in the program with their youth.

Age of participants: 13-18
Groups larger than five youth need to come to a program with one leader (one leader for every five youth.)

No two programs are exactly alike, ensuring that repeat participants always have a unique experience. That being said, there are commonalities. Below is a sample schedule of a youth program.
