Foundations of Service

Click for Youth Development & Leadership Training Dates & Rates

CREW is the first year of youth development and leadership training and is the ideal place to begin. It is an intensive 21 day program for 15-16 year old youth.

The program starts with a half week canoe trip and three days of training followed by two weeks of service at IAWAH. Service includes work shifts in the areas of food service (dining room/dishes), housekeeping (bathrooms/general cleaning) and grounds keeping. A full day will have one work shift in each of the three areas of service. CREW is structured so that individuals participate daily in structured Bible studies, reflective time alone with God, worship, play and rest.

Individuals who complete the full program will earn 72 hours of volunteer service.
