Cost & Details
Lifeteams has been training young influencers for the past 11 years. Lifeteams year 12 begins on September 9th, 2012 and runs until the end of May. Because of the intensive mentorship focus, we select only 8-10 students each year. If you have an interest in finding out more, we’d love to talk. Contact us at info@lifeteams.ca or 604-825-1946 .
Cost
Our desire is to be a part of the shaping God wants to do in peoples’ lives, and to see that spill over into the lives of marginalized teens. Education is expensive so at Lifeteams, our staff fundraise to cover their own salaries which keeps program costs down. Your fees simply pay for your expenses. Total cost – including tuition, room and board, youth work practicum, books, travel and adventure activities – for 8 1/2 months of Lifeteams is $7,960 (Canadian).
Lifeteams is a certified educational institution, approved by the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. Because of this, tuition can be paid through R.E.S.P. contributions if that is something available to you through your parents. You will find Lifeteams registered under “Greater Vancouver Youth for Christ.”
Since Lifeteams is not just an educational year but also a mission year, program fees can also be fundraised through a personal network of people who choose to stand with you in this ministry. Donations are tax deductable with charitable donation receipts issued at the end of the year.
We encourage all of our students to find a support network of people who will join them – prayerfully and financially – as they step into the lives of young people. You can become the hands of your supporters as you reach out to troubled teens together and that partnership is life-changing.
