Team size
The France Youth Venture team is limited to 10 participants and two leaders.

Service/learning component
In 2011, a group of French youth spent three weeks in the United States learning about American culture. In 2012, a team of U.S. youth will travel to France and be hosted by French families. You will have the chance to experience French daily life and culture, and to discover the way French youth live their faith by connecting to the local church. You will be based in the Alsace region of France where you may have the opportunity to visit some significant historical Anabaptist points of interest.

This trip is primarily focused on learning and relationship building as opposed to service-oriented activities. 

Travel directions to location
Orientation will take place in a major stateside city. Youth Venture will make your travel arrangements from the United States to France. You are responsible for your travel to orientation.

If you do not have a passport, you can download an application at www.travel.state.gov/passport/forms.html. Please allow ample time for passport processing.

Cost
Trip cost is $1,995 and includes international travel, visa costs, meals and lodging from the time of your departure on July 3 through your return to the United States on July 25. Trip cost does not include travel to orientation, passport, or personal spending money.  Trip cost is subject to change in the event of significant airline price increases.
