The following is a meetings guide for groups planning to take a trip together. The guide was prepared and made available by Mark McKone-Sweet. This should give groups some sense of the commitment involved, time-wise, and aid facilitators in preparing a group to travel.
Eight Steps to a Service Trip [Plus One]
About one meeting (step) per month:
- Step #1 Introduction, What is Mission, Questions, Why me
