It is not easy to find the right volunteer organization. You have to ask people who have come back specific places, and you also have to know what you are looking for. Some of them have restrictions, and some of them will charge you a fee, so there are things to look out for. There are many YWAM DTS locations around the world, and this is something that every one speaks highly of.
This is a Christian organization that you study at for three months at, and once that is complete you will head off to a country of your choice where you will do some mission work. Usually you can choose from a couple of countries. You will join a team of people and you will participate in a range of activities which can be hugely rewarding.
A lot of young people decide to do this after school as part of a gap year. It can be a lot better than traveling aimlessly overseas for a year. This is something that teaches you about life. There are lots of challenges along the way, but this is part of growing up. You will also be living and working with others, which is half the challenge.
There is something for everyone to get involved. You can be more introverted, but you can still feel that you are helping out. You will also feel that you are getting out of your comfort zone, and everyone needs to do this. There will be many rewards while you are participating in a program like this.
During this time there are various things that students get involved in. It is a three month theory course, with a little practical of going to the communities and doing some mission work. Most of the time they will be in lectures and learning about the Christian faith. They will also be preparing for the up and coming mission trip.
This is something that you have to think carefully about and often it comes down to money, because a lot of the locations cost more than others. This is because of the exchange rate. Some countries will cost more than others to live in. A country like Thailand won't cost as much as a place like Tokyo, so this is something you have to take into consideration.
Sometimes people find it challenging working with other team mates because you will have to live with them as well. Much of the time the conditions are not good and the facilities are not that descent. However, this is something that you have to get used to and you have to realize that it is part of the mission trip.
There may be a particular program that is only available at one base and it is not on offer anywhere else. There are many things that you can do after your DTS, and you may want to plan for that. Some people feel that they have a special calling to be full time missionaries, but you need to do this course before you can start to work for YWAM.
