Learning and Serving
Worktriping in a modern context

 
 

Welcome and congratulations on finding the Yakama Christian Mission's experiential learning site!

So, Learning and Serving Trips in a modern context, now, what in the world is that all about? How are these trips different from work trips and mission trips of the past? What is expected of me or my group when we visit the reservation? How long can we stay and what will we do?

Okay! Okay! Let’s try to answer these questions. Through the links from this page we hope to present the answers to these questions and more. So, hold on and enjoy the ride!


"In twenty years of leading worktrips, this was the best I have ever done!"
Patty Evans, FCC Albany , OR

"it is an excellent example of discerning who we are as Disciples among a unique population of people."
Amy Kay Pavlovich, FCC Columbia, MO

 

 

Learning and Serving Trips (L&S) are unique from work trips and mission trips because they are intentional times for the participant to reflect on their role in the community. Work trips and mission trips also do this, but often from a subjective stance. L&S trips allows the subjective to occur, but also adds to the experience an intentional learning aspect to the trip. Trips to the Yakama Mission will include video clips, games, exercises, and small group time to grapple with the current issues facing our first-world society and experienced first hand by those living on the Yakama reservation.
