Dear Class of 2029

  • Your college experience doesn’t have to be just about lectures or parties.
  • You can travel, get a world-class education, and actually create something real—at the same time.
  • Fall 2025: Help launch a coffee shop in Sorrento, Italy, with a visionary priest spreading Christ’s love in his community. Then hop a ferry to Albania to put everything you’ve learned into practice.
  • Spring 2026: Head to our active mission base in Antigua, Guatemala, or Chiapas, Mexico, to dive into bean sourcing and help empower farmers to break free from poverty.
  • In between: Gainesville, Georgia, for training, debriefs, and a Capstone that actually matters.
  • This isn’t just college—it’s purpose in action.

“The School That Changed My Life”

Kelson and Kyla mudd f47068a8

“The community, mentorship, and experience with Journey School  was a life altering experience with an impact that has extended far beyond the program. More than strengthening and refining the passions that the Lord placed in us, JS provided us with the tools, skills, and community to bring those passions to life. not only did we meet each other, but also life long friends, mentors, and like-minded coworkers with the same desifre to see the kingdom come in every aspect of life.”

“Whenever people ask me about how I got started in my job as a copywriter and marketer, I begin by telling them about my time in Journey School. This program gave me all the skills I needed to have the career that I have today, all thanks to staff members and leaders who saw my potential and helped me cultivate it into a skillset!”

“Journey School was, hands down, the best decision I’ve ever made. I was challenged, learned countless skills, and experienced a number of incredible adventures. Most importantly, I became connected to a group of people who want to change the world, are willing to work hard, seek after God, and believe in the dreams He has placed on my heart. To this day, the mentors and friends I met through Journey School remain a significant part of my life.”
