OUR WHY
Next Step offers a unique work project experience for your students by providing opportunities to learn new skills, serve as a team, and contribute to a meaningful building project in the community. Your work project would likely include a wide variety of residential home repair projects or serving local organizations by improving the conditions of their facilities. Whichever project you may be involved in, you can be confident that your efforts are vital in alleviating building needs in the community.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE MISSION TRIP
MEANINGFUL WORK
Next Step’s commitment to working alongside communities ensures that the projects selected each year are meaningful to the community. Whether it’s a homeowner seeking a safe shelter to call home, or an organization’s facility becoming better equipped to live out their mission in the community, you can know your efforts are contributing in great ways.
QUALITY
At Next Step we are continuously improving our construction through quality work, sustainable development, and strong partnerships within communities. We believe the work we do represents the God we serve. Our focus is to always provide the best work possible and to use construction as a platform to effectively share Christ’s love within a community.
SAFETY
Next Step is committed to the safety of every person participating in our mission trips. Safe worksites are crucial to completing projects in each community. Day in and day out, work crews are equipped with personal protective equipment, instructions on tool safety, and known hazards on site.
COMMITMENT
We work side by side with the community to make sure the work doesn’t end when students leave. Next Step’s partnership stays strong with follow-up inspections, continued repair, or completion of projects and most importantly spiritual and relational support throughout the year.
