Outreach Trips
Participants can expect a full week of activities, morning and evening group reflections, and a sightseeing day in Honduras. Each service trip has a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 16 participants.
YOUTH AMBASSADORS
Our Youth Ambassadors are scholarship recipients who help plan and facilitate the week-long activities of the trip. Youth are chosen by the selection committee and must be between the ages of 18-29, living with HIV, live in the United States, and demonstrate exceptional leadership qualities. Scholarship recipients commit to further the mission of Youth Across Borders when they return to their home communities.
ADDITIONAL TEAM MEMBERS
In addition to their role in supporting Youth Ambassadors, our additional team members, regardless of HIV status, bring their unique talents and passion for serving people living with HIV on each trip. During the week, team members will conduct workshops or participate in on-site renovation projects. Our team members are charged $1000 for the trip and are responsible for the cost of securing their airfare to the destination site.

“I have been profoundly forever changed by my experiences with Youth Across Borders. I’ve grown so much due, in no small part, to my connection with amazing people here. I hope that this is the first of many
journeys to come.”
