The AIM training happens as part of a larger conference, the Called Conference (sponsored by Minnesota district youth department). At the conference, the main focus is to help students understand the call God has placed on their life. The Aim training will take place as a track of sessions designed to give the students an overview of our AIM philosophy, and the general goals of the ministry. Training for individuals trips will take place at a later time, led by the youth pastor who is leading the trip.
Valid Passports are required for all international trips. A Real ID or enhanced drivers licenses were going to be required for all domestic flights, but now has been extended to May 7, 2025. Everyone must have a federally or state issued ID for domestic flights.
