Participants must go through an application process. There are three meetings that one must attend: 1) a Trip Introduction Meeting, February 1st; 2) a one-on-one meeting with student group leaders, 3) the Final Orientation, March 10th, and 4) the Send-Off Prayer Service, March 11th.
Here students learn about the program, the sites, and the application process. Students are asked to choose their top four sites. Although their top choices cannot be guaranteed, students will usually receive one of their choices. Applications are due January 20, 2012 online, by 11:59pm.
After placements are made on January 29, 2012, all participants should attend the Trip Introduction meeting. Here students receive basic trip information, meet with their groups for the first time, and learn the details of the trip. This is also the "logisitical" meeting when groups decide which roles members will have, e.g., who is willing to drive.
After all of the site assignments are made, participants sign up for a one-on-one meeting with the facilitators of their group. At this meeting they ask questions, discuss their site, and get a general idea of what to expect. The facilitator also gets to know the participant. Failure to attend without prior "ok" will normally mean the student will not be able to make the trip.
The Final Orientation is the last meeting before the trip. It is the last chance to have all forms completed and discuss any last minute logistics of the trip. Failure to attend without prior "ok" will normally mean the student will not be able to make the trip.
Facilitators are students who have previously gone on a M.A.P. trip and now desire to get more involved with the program. Applications for facilitators are available online. Applications must be completed by Friday, November 4th.
People who want to go on a M.A.P. trip and aren't applying to be leaders, can also apply online.
