Malawi
College Summer Staff · Lilongwe
July 11 – 22, 2027
Explore Malawi, serve at a Young Life camp, and lead with a global community of peers
Designed for college students ready for a high-impact summer, you’ll join an exclusive cohort serving alongside students in Malawi who are actively leading the Young Life College movement on their own campuses. In Lilongwe you’ll be fully immersed as Summer Staff — serving alongside Young Life staff and the local college ministry, participating in Campaigners, running high-energy clubs, leading games, and facilitating life-changing gospel conversations.
The mission is only half the story. After we serve, we’ll close the trip with an adventure on Lake Malawi or a safari — a space for deep spiritual development, celebrating ministry wins and the wonders of the continent together.
