GO!  Together

We encourage our partners to go!

Go and see what God is doing through the restorative work of Kids Alive.

Go and get deeper in your faith as you bond with team members.

Go and come alongside our team for mutual encouragement, sharing, and learning.

These experiences will impact how you experience God, see the world, and see your value to make a difference.

Through partnerships with local churches, Christian schools, community groups, and faith-based nonprofits, Kids Alive International has equipped and mobilized hundreds of teams and thousands of volunteers to GO! and share the love of Jesus as they use their gifts, abilities, and resources to serve.

What is a Go! Team?

Let’s go!

An opportunity for volunteer teams to share their faith, talents, & abilities at one of Kids Alive International’s sites

GO! TEAMs are short-term, international trips designed to connect volunteer teams with a 1-2 week experience at one of Kids Alive’s sites, which include residential children’s homes, care centers, and schools. We engage organizations in KAI’s Faith Community Network and connect them with opportunities to GO! and demonstrate the love of Jesus where Kids Alive operates programs. We call this a GO! TEAM.

Team Activities

We are currently sending GO! TEAMs to five countries: Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Kenya, Peru, & Zambia.

We want to build partnerships between each team and the ministry site that best match both the team’s skills and desired activities and the needs of the site. Our staff will guide you through the process of developing a trip agenda. Some options to consider include:

Staff nurturing and care
Sports/Art/Music Camps and other educational programs
Construction Projects
Medical or Dental Aid
Vacation Bible School or Backyard Bible Clubs
Prayer Walking

Depending on factors such as location and length, fees typically range from $950 to $1,300 per person and include accommodations, meals, in-country ground transportation, and the cost of ministry projects. A portion of the fees is used to sustain the country’s ministry.

03
What will the team do & what’s the average team size?

The in-country team host works closely with team leaders during trip preparation to best utilize the team’s gifts with the ministry’s current needs (i.e., sports/arts/educational camps, VBS, medical, dental, construction, host training/seminars, nurture and care for staff).

Team size depends on the country, but the maximum capacity in most countries is 20 team members. GO! TEAMs don’t accept individual travelers, so consider an internship or leading a group from your church.
