How do I sign up?
You can register online or print a registration form by clicking here and turning the form in at the front office. A $150.00 non-refundable deposit is due with your registration. Information sheets and registration forms can also be found at the Mission Center. Background checks will be conducted by Hope on all mission trip applicants ages 18 and older. This is to ensure the safety and protection of all mission team members and the people we serve. If you’ve had a background check run by Hope in the last three years, a new one will not be needed.
