Youth Mission Trip to NYC!
Promotional Image for Your Church - Please Download
March 29–April 1, 2026
Join Us for a life-changing U.S. Missions Trip to New York City!
We are excited to come together as one movement to make an impact for Jesus in the heart of New York City. This is more than just a trip!
It’s a moment to see God move in and through our students like never before.
We’re inviting youth pastors and leaders to bring their 8th–12th grade students to serve, pray, feed, and bless the city together. NYC is full of people who need hope, and we believe God is calling us to be His hands and feet right where the world is watching.
There’s power when the Church comes together. Let’s believe for revival in our students, our churches, and our cities — as we unite to serve His mission.
Would you consider bringing your youth group to NYC this spring?

Group Requirements & Rooming Details
Groups must register with a minimum of 6 people in order to participate. NYSUM houses teams using gender-separated floors, and each group’s students will be placed accordingly.
Students do not need to have an adult staying in the room with them; however, if your group chooses to place adults in student rooms, two adult leaders are required in that room for accountability and safety.
(Please plan your team structure with this in mind to ensure proper supervision and compliance with our safeguarding guidelines.)
