Annunciation Youth Ministries invites senior high youth to participate in a Youthworks Mission Trip. Their mission, quite simply, is to provide life changing, Christ centered youth mission opportunities. They create extraordinarily fun and significant mission adventures focused on the needs and capabilities of youth. This trip is open to youth in the classes of 2025, 2026 and 2027 who are members of Annunciation Parish or are active in AYM.
Your group will come alongside existing organizations that are seeking to support and meet the needs of the local community. You’ll have the opportunity to see how community members are rising to meet challenges the city of Denver is facing. Serve with local organizations caring for their neighbors in meaningful ways through home projects, food distribution, thrift stores and city beautification. Through spending time exploring the beautiful mountains in Colorado and the urban life in the city of Denver, your group will learn more about the uniqueness of this community. YouthWorks has partnered with this community since 1998.
