How much does youth with a mission cost? How much does it cost to go to YWAM in Hawaii?

The cost of attending Youth With A Mission (YWAM) varies depending on the location and program. According to YWAM’s official website, the fees for Discipleship Training School (DTS) programs vary from one location to another and usually cover housing, food, and the costs of the training itself.

Transportation to the training program is usually not included in these fees. For Hawaii, the cost for lecture phase tuition is $3,995. USD which will cover the cost of room and board, and tuition (does not include airfare). Outreach cost is estimated at $4,500–$5,500 USD.

YWAM Honolulu offers various programs such as Discipleship Training School, Biblical Core Course, School of Missions & Evangelism, TESOL, and more.

YWAM is involved in disease prevention and treatment initiatives. They have partnered with communities in Uganda to provide relief for HIV/AIDS, including establishing orphanages and ensuring children receive an education.

YWAM’s “Buzz Off” campaign focuses on empowering smaller NGOs in malaria-endemic regions to combat malaria at the local level, providing mosquito nets and resources to those in need.

YWAM’s outreach extends to building homes for families in need, with projects like Homes of Hope in Mexico and other countries. These projects involve teams purchasing housing materials and then traveling to construct homes with YWAM staff oversight. Homes of Hope has built thousands of homes for families in need, reflecting YWAM’s dedication to practical service.

While YWAM engages individuals of all ages, it maintains a strong emphasis on youth ministry. Mission Adventures (MA), King’s Kids International (KKI), and Youth Street are transnational youth ministries that YWAM has developed, offering various programs and initiatives to engage and empower young people globally.

YWAM has even made its mark in the film industry. YWAM Missionary Lee Isaac Chung’s film “Munyurangabo” earned recognition at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. Another YWAM member, David Loren Cunningham, produced a film called “Hakani: A Survivor’s Story,” which shed light on the challenges faced by Amazonian tribes in Brazil.
