How to Apply for a Global Mission with Cru\u2019s High School Ministry<\/span><\/h2>

Cru is a high school and middle school ministry (formerly known as Student Venture and Campus Crusade for Christ International). The application for a Global Mission uses an online system. Below are a few things you need to make sure to do.<\/p>

1. IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 YEARS OLD, DOWNLOAD AND PRINT THE PARENT CONSENT PACKET.<\/span><\/h4>

Then give the packet to your parents. It includes a consent form that your parent must read, sign, and mail to our office. You will submit your application online but it will not be evaluated until the parent consent form is received.<\/p>

2. IF YOU ARE OVER 18 AND OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL.<\/span><\/h4>

We are required by law to perform a background check on anyone over the age of 18 who is out of high school. After submitting your application you should receive an email for the background check. \u00a0At that time please submit a check for $20 to Cru and mail it to; 100 Lake Hart Drive MC3200 \u00a0Orlando \u00a0FL \u00a032832. \u00a0If you do not receive this email then please contact us at\u00a0cruhs.globalmissions@cru.org<\/p>

3. CLICK ON THE \u201cAPPLY ONLINE\u201d LINK NEXT TO THE MISSION YOU WANT TO APPLY FOR.<\/span><\/h4>

These questions will help you determine if you are ready to apply for a mission:<\/p>

Or, you can click \u201cSign Up\u201d to create a user name and password to access your application. If you went on a\u00a0mission\u00a0last year, you can enter the user name and password that you used last year. Read the instructions carefully. Fill out the application. You will not need to fill out the entire application in one sitting. You will have the option of saving your work and coming back to it later. Provide 2-3 references.<\/p>

  1. A peer\/friend who knows you well. (This is required for college students and optional for high school students.)<\/li>
