Zimbabwe
North Carolina Study Center · UNC
May 10 – 21, 2027
Spend two weeks in Zimbabwe with the Study Center serving alongside local university students and volunteer Young Life leaders. You’ll execute a work project for the community, serve on work crew at a Young Life camp as kids arrive for the best week of their lives, and step into everyday life of African culture.
Serve at camp, build something that lasts, and see what God is doing through Young Life in Zimbabwe — up close.
Close the trip with a debrief experience in Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, where you’ll share how the Lord moved over the week while continuing to meet leaders and see ministry along the way.
