Mission trips

The Twin Horizons Foundation leads annual two-months mission trips for groups of high school students during spring and summer breaks. Destinations include Appalachia regions of the U.S. as well as international locations in Latin America and Africa. Students assist with building projects, teach English, distribute aid supplies, and more while learning about different cultures.
