Know yourself. Lead yourself. Lead others. 

Are you a college student looking for ways to grow in your leadership skills without getting off-track in your studies? Are you looking for opportunities to travel or for ways to get involved in short-term missions this summer? Welcome to summer CGA!

The Center for Global Action exists to mobilize a generation to be passionate followers of Jesus who live out their faith whether at home, professionally, or in ministry.

This program will be located at the Adventures in Missions base in Guatemala. CGA Guatemala is a 7-week long, accelerated leadership program for college students who don't want to take a semester off but want the leadership skills CGA offers. We develop character and the ability to lead others emotionally and spiritually while understanding one's true identity in Christ. We believe in hands on training, activation, and experiential learning. Apprentices will be equipped to go back with tangible skills to put to use in their college environments and build on for the rest of their lives. They will also be taught and empowered to engage and set culture with their peers in a way that is healthy, effective, and sustainable.
