Let’s work together and

Become a Mission Builder (volunteer)

Are you interested in giving your time and gifts to missions? We receive volunteers from two weeks up to three months.

Mission Builders serve full-time at the YWAM base supporting our ministries and long-term missionaries through practical jobs such as construction, maintenance, kitchen and some ministry activities. We will do our best to place you in a working environment that suits your abilities and desires while helping us meet our current needs.

As a Mission Builder, you will have the opportunity to work alongside our long-term missionary members and develop meaningful relationships, gaining insight into full-time service. Mission Builders can serve for as little as 2 weeks and as long as 3 months. After 90 days, we encourage you to consider taking the next step with Youth With A Mission and to participate in our Discipleship Training School.

Requirements:

  • Minimum 18 years old (children can come with their parents).

  • To be a committed Christian with a heart of service.

  • To have the capacity to adapt to living and working in an intercultural community with young people and simple living conditions in rural Costa Rica.

  • To fill out an application with reference through Mission Builders International.

  • To pay a volunteer fee: 170,000 CRC per month (this includes food and housing).

Three-month Mission Builders, who come for the months of April, May and June, can take the Integrative Bible Seminar while volunteering. It means classes on Wednesday nights and 3-4 hours of weekly homework.
