Complete the online application and submit a pastoral reference. If you are not a UPCI member, a reference from your local UPCI presbyter is also required. Both reference forms become available after you submit your application. A $200 non-refundable fee is due at submission and is applied to your trip cost if accepted. Once accepted you will be onboarded through Managed Missions. For sensitive trips, host missionaries may be involved, and a social media audit may be conducted.

• You are responsible for raising your full trip cost. Support can come from anywhere, so get creative and loop in your friends, family, church, and community! Payments will be made through your Managed Missions account. Your $200 application fee is applied to your total. The AYC budget covers onsite hotels, meals, medical insurance, transportation, sightseeing, and international airfare (global trips). It does not cover passports, visas, travel to the departure/host city, immunizations, souvenirs, or extra baggage fees. Budget goals have due dates, and late fees will be applied to any that are missed.
