OM Greece partners with a ministry center near Athens, within walking distance of two refugee camps, where we run daily TeenStreet Hope programs.
TeenStreet Hope envisions a world where refugee youth experience hope, belonging, and restoration, enabling them to transform their lives and communities through faith in Jesus Christ. We aim to see mutual growth in the lives of refugee and non-refugee teens as we bring a modified Teenstreet event to those who have previously not been engaged with – refugee teens from different cultural backgrounds and faiths.
Through targeted workshops, arts, sports and small group dynamics we aim to engage refugee teens in a way that is culturally and trauma sensitive, while bringing the hope of Jesus. You will be part of the team that runs the Teenstreet Hope program and interacts directly with the teenagers.
During the outreach we will have daily team preparation time, prayer meetings, devotionals and debriefs. There will also be a team outing included during the week.
Prior to arrival we will have several mandatory team planning and training meetings. These meetings will cover cultural awareness, trauma care and debriefing, and program planning. Each team member will arrive knowing the program and their personal responsibilities, while also keeping in mind that this is a fluid situation and flexibility is always needed.
