Group Cares

Our goal is to provide the volunteers and resources needed to meet the needs described above. We rely on fees for the service we provide to our volunteers and then perform the work free of charge to those we serve. The outcome of our work is that people in need our helped, the volunteers learn they can make a difference, and everyone grows spiritually in the process. Our typical volunteer is a member of a christian youth group who come together to serve in a community that is not where they live. Our service opportunities are open to individuals but those under 21 need to be accompanied by an adult of the same gender.

We have large database of Christian churches that we use for marketing. We have a robust website that explains all of the opportunities we have for service. We use direct mail, social, google ad-words, and e-mail marketing to inform potential customers of the benefits of working with us. We have recently begun solicitation for donations. While this is a new endeavor we see it as another source to gain the funds we need to increase the number of people we serve. Our portfolio of mission trips are divers and try and provide different price points, duration, and types of service available.

We have 20 full-time staff. We hire 150 seasonal employees and have 500 volunteers that support our more than 13,000 participants. Our full-time staff are specialists in the areas of marketing, sales, finance, project management, and recruiting which are the key areas for success. We have been in business since 1990 and have refined our processes to manage the logistics of running our mission trips.

We have had over 450,000 people serve with us since 1990. They have provided 13,500,000 of service hours helping people in need. We have improved the lives of over 100,000 people who received help free of charge. Our future is to continue to find ways to help those in need while providing opportunities for our volunteers to serve and grow spiritually.
