Participation in the Asbury Appalachia Service Youth Mission is a privilege that is earned. This is accomplished through teamwork, sharing, skills and safety workshops and fundraising. We usually have more people that want to go than we can accommodate. We are limited to 40 Youth and 17 Adults this year. In order to participate we give you opportunities to earn points that will get you a preliminary seat on the trip if you follow all of the rules and deadlines.

You must earn 21 of the 36-40 available points in order to be able eligible to go on the trip in June. We know everyone has busy schedules so you can choose to participate where is best fits your schedule. Make sure you get ahead on points in the fall because the spring time always brings busy schedules.
