Join Us on a Short-Term Training Trip!

No matter your experience level, you can help impact young lives for Christ. KidZ takes care of the details and guides your team through the steps required for success and safety.

Three Options to Partner with Us:

OPTION 1: Join an existing KidZ at Heart team

You can apply as an individual to travel on one of our already-scheduled trips. This is a great way to get introduced to our training and potentially prepare to lead your own team in the future.

OPTION 2: Form a team from your community

You can form a KidZ Ministry team from your church, circle of friends, or as a family to minister to one of the regional areas already established by KidZ or currently on our waiting list.

OPTION 3: Impact your network

You can partner with KidZ at Heart to form a team from your church to work with a church planter, missionary, or national with whom you and/or your church already have a relationship.

Trip FAQs

  • Most trips require 10 to 14 days, including 2 to 4 days of travel time.

  • You can join a KidZ at Heart training team and make an impact on young lives for Christ no matter what your experience level may be. A typical team includes:

    1 Team Leader

    2-3 Co-Trainers (who have the ability to co-present the Transforming KidZ Ministry Training)

    2-6 Support Team Members (who help with details of the trip and experience the cross-cultural impact along with the team)

  • Costs vary depending on origin and destination cities, time of year, and length of trip. KidZ does everything within its power to keep costs low, while ensuring that training team members travel in safety and basic comfort. We shop for the best travel prices and have extensive experience in multiple cultures. Final prices are locked in by KidZ at Heart after purchase of airline tickets which occurs two months prior to trip departure.

    Budgeting for the trip.

    Processing donations, reporting, and receipting.

    Managing a 6- to 12-month timeline based on successful mobilization of hundreds of teams.
