Groups

We love groups to join us. There are exciting things for all ages and multi-generational groups find the experiences life changing 

Families

Serving at Lantern Hill is a great way for families to learn and grow together. 

Long Term

Long-term volunteers are always welcome. We especially need help in the summer to assist with our summer program.

Experiences

Whether you’re coming as a group, with your family, or by yourself, trips to Lantern Hill are life-changing experiences – for the children we work alongside and the participants joing us.
Youth Groups

“When I was a Youth Pastor, I had no idea how to plan a mission trip, where to go, or what to do when I got there.”

​

 

This is how Lantern Hill can help.  We recognize that planning a mission trip can be very overwhelming.  We aim to reduce stress, help you with every step, and use our experience to plan a trip exactly how you’d like it.  Pre-planning, packing lists, transportation support, 24-hour service, translation, food, lodging, EVERYTHING.  We will help your group experience International Missions, no problem!

Families & Individuals

Families that serve together share incredible life experiences that translate into growing closer, developing trust, and serving beside one another to make the world a better place. Individuals who have chosen to serve with us represent an essential model for us, The Servant. These types of individuals usually find themselves knee-deep in new relationships and ideas and go back ready to change the world!

 

Lantern Hill is ready for every experience. Whether it’s your family of 5 or just you,  we will create an experience just for you!

College, Seminary Students, & Groups

Alternative Spring Break Programs, Cross-Cultural Exchanges, and Internships make up an essential part of our servant participants.  We have had College Campus Ministries, Seminary Students, and College Friend Groups come to Lantern Hill and make significant service happen while engaging culture, visiting tourist and cultural sites, and making new friends. 

 

We have everything your college or seminary might need to create a meaningful cross-cultural educational program, short-term or long-term internship, or any other cultural exchange program you desire to create or participate in.

Short & Long Term Volunteers

Short Term = one month or less

Long Term = one month or more

​

Lantern Hill has opportunities for Short & Long Term Volunteers within our daily programs, summer mission trip season, and long-term servant positions.  Volunteers generally raise money to support their stay at Lantern Hill, work in the programs that fit their gifts, and dedicate their time to serving those in need.  Our volunteers have done everything from helping our organization with administrative service, initiating new programs, serving beside our partner organizations, and leading experiences with our mission trip teams all summer!

The Details

Lantern Hill specializes in Mission Trips for youth groups, church fellowship groups, and mission teams.  We match your personal gifts to the needs of our communities and partner organizations.  There is nothing that you “fit into.”   Through our intensive learning opportunities and reflective processing time, we will stand beside you and guide you through your experience.  This processing time, combined with activities designed to get you thinking and developing your servant's heart, will lead you into a rhythm of service that will begin to change your perspectives and offer you a new way of looking at the world.
