Are you interested in international issues? Looking to learn more about poverty, social justice, and God’s heart for both? Do you want to be a part of a dynamic team living out what you’re learning in Rwanda as well as Canada?

If you answered yes, then the Elevation Experience is definitely for you!

“What an extraordinary experience. For me, Rwanda was a time of reflection, renewal, wonder, inspiration, passion, happiness, (at times) deep sadness, emotional and physical exhaustion, realization, laughter, and sometimes tears. It has really given me a clear viewing of who I am as a person, as well as who I want to be.” – Tatiana, EE participant from Canada 2014

What is it? The Elevation Experience is an 18-month Youth Leadership Development program. Our aim is to see lives changed— both the Canadians who join the Experience and those we work with in Rwanda. We believe in cross-cultural relationships; there is so much to learn from each other! The Elevation Experience is a life-changing opportunity to step into your own journey of personal development.

The Experience includes:

  • Six sessions of pre-travel training
  • Participation in the team fundraising effort
  • A two to three week trip to Rwanda
  • Eight months of post-trip programming

And the opportunity to be involved in a life-changing project while getting to know some spectacular people!
