What is it like to be on a Global Outreach team?
Being on a Global Outreach team is a ton of fun, even before you travel overseas together! It is also a time commitment, especially in the Spring semester. We believe in sending teams of students overseas that are well-equipped for the work that they set out to do alongside our long-term partners. We will make sure that you are prepared to engage in cross-cultural ministry and that you have ample time to bond with your team and make connections that will outlast your 2 weeks in another country!
Your first meeting is on November 8th at 6:00pm in the Student Union. This is where you will make your deposit, learn more about what to expect from Global Outreach, and meet the rest of your team to start bonding!
In the Spring semester, teams will meet once a week every Wednesday night from 6-8pm. This training and team time takes place fully in person and is required of every team member (staff/faculty, student, or alumni) for the entirety of the semester. In addition, every team member is required to participate in the Global Outreach Retreat on February 2-4, 2024 in Nevada City. The cost for retreat and training is included in the total fundraised cost, and we think Retreat is one of the most fun weekends of the whole year, so you don’t want to miss it!
Thank you for your interest in serving on a Global Outreach team! We are excited you are pursuing the opportunity to serve alongside your Jessup community in a cross-cultural context and we look forward to getting to know you better via your application.
