Mission Roles MY23

Overview:

Serving as a director or leader on a FOCUS Mission trip is an incredible opportunity for both you and your students! You will gain valuable leadership skills and grow as a missionary, all in service of the poor and spending more time with your students.

Below is a breakdown of where responsibilities lie beginning in MY23. FOCUS Missions wants you to be as present as possible on campus, so we have kept tasks to a minimum.
