River Valley values your safety and cares about international security. We have partners on the ground that are able to give us real time information about the location where they are living. Should they say it is not safe to have team members come, your Team Leader will reach out to you with next steps.

You do not need to be a member of River Valley in order to be on a Global Team. But each team has specific requirements with required documentation i.e. Passports, forms and ID.

We suggest that you use the ⅓ method - fundraise ⅓ of your Global Team expenses, pay for ⅓ of your Global Team expenses and trust God with the remaining ⅓! Once you get approved for your Global Team, you will get instructions on how to set up a fundraising page. We encourage you to share this with your friends, family and colleagues.

Each Global Team has their own age requirements.  Please see ‘Age Requirements’ for each team.

Each Global Team has an age limit. If the team you are wanting to go on allows children under the age of 18, they may need to be of a minimum age. All children under the age of 17 require parental/guardian supervision.

They can range from $250 - $3995, all depending on the location and the specific costs.

*Exceptions include Experience Teams.

Applications are on a first come first serve basis. Applications open at 12pm the first Monday of each month (unless otherwise specified). An ‘APPLY’ button will appear on the team specific page at 12pm (after you refresh your page). After you apply, you will be notified if you have been approved or not - once you have been approved, you will receive a link to complete your registration.

Renewing your passport is simple but it does take time to be processed by the government office; so, we would encourage you to start that process now if you are thinking about going on an international Global Team

As soon as more details are confirmed, we update our website. (ie. costs, leader information)
