with SWAP. The information below will help you with the "nuts and bolts" of organizing a SWAP
service experience that is fulfilling and meaningful for your volunteer group.
Group Participation
All groups wishing to participate with SWAP must complete a group application, including:
- Preferred dates of attendance
- Approximate group size
- Number of adults
- Number of youth
After a group's application has been
accepted and the group has been notified by our office,
a non- refundable deposit of $50 per
person is required no later than January 30 of the year you attend SWAP. The balance of $275 is due one month
prior to arrival.
Family units and retirees not coming with a group should contact the SWAP office
by email or phone to discuss options for service assignments, as well as financial expectations.
Participation Requirements
- Each group with youth must provide one adult leader (who will also act as a construction site team
leader) for every five youth. Although this person need not be a professional carpenter, persons
with a general knowledge of construction skills are an enormous asset for teams coming to SWAP.
- Each participant must show proof of medical insurance prior to coming to SWAP.
Although every effort is made to create a safe working environment, SWAP cannot provide medical
coverage for its participants and will not be held responsible for accident or injury.
-
Groups should plan to begin each day with a devotion led by their group leaders.
We believe that an effective day in ministry is best begun by committing our work to God.
