 High School Short-Term Service Application

We at DCC are excited you are considering serving in Mexico with us! Before we start the application process though, we would like you and your parent(s) or legal guardian(s) to consider the level of time and financial commitment required to attend this trip. 1) The financial cost is significant: $550+ meals to and from Mexico. This cost can be reduced by actively participating in the DCC Youth Auction or writing support letters. 2) Team meetings and participation leading up to our trip to Mexico is crucial for building relationships/trust and construction skills among the group. 100% attendance to 2 training sessions is required  (March 1st and 15th from 12-5pm at the Holloway’s) to attend this mission trip.

Students, will you commit to attending both meetings? Please circle one: YES / NO
