Many groups have been forced to cancel their long-distance mission trips due to the pandemic. But you don’t have to miss out entirely! Consider a Missional Journey with Youthfront.
Your students can serve and get a deeper insight into the lives of those living on the margins in Kansas City. We have a variety of options available!

Week-long, Missional Journey – starts at $299
This has it all. This 5-night, 6-day, turn-key experience is led by full-time Youthfront staff with years of experience living in under-resourced neighborhoods. Every day will start with engaging learning experiences that help youth understand how the brokenness in our city intersects with the mission of God. Our service opportunities create pathways for youth to stand with hurting people to do tangible good. Evening meals are prepared by locals who highlight the very best of our city’s cultural diversity. Lodging at a local, Hispanic church will give your group a sense of being away while being only a short drive from home.
- Fully-programmed, turn-key experience led by local experts
- Discounts for local and first-time groups!
Customized City Experiences – starting at $39/day

Argentine, Kansas City KS
When you sign up for a week in the Argentine neighborhood, you’re committing to a week of learning, hard work, and community.
Whether you live or not in Kansas City, spending a week in the neighborhood will allow you to have a deeper insight to the lives of millions of people living in the margins in the US. This experience is key not only to understand and empathize with those less privileged than us, but also to learn from them, and make this journey a two-way street.
