Christ on Campus Volunteer Application Forms are now available!
Once again, in conjunction with Higher Things’ campus ministry arm, Christ on Campus, we will be accepting applications from college students to volunteer as helpers at the FOR YOU conferences this summer! Many excited young adults have been asking us about this opportunity for quite some time – here’s your chance!
Higher Things needs approximately fifteen (15) student volunteers to serve at each of the FOR YOU conferences this summer in various capacities. Student Volunteers will need to arrive on site by 1:00 p.m. on Monday of the conference week and attend the entire conference. Eligible candidates must be 18 years old and/or have been students at the undergraduate or graduate level for at least one academic year prior to the conference. For more information and to download application forms, visit our FOR YOU Conference website.
Planning for Travel
While we are still making adjustments to the conference schedules for both locations, we can tell you that the opening Divine Service will begin at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday of the conference week (we suggest that you plan to be on site by 1:00 p.m. that day), and the closing Divine Service will end by 4:00 p.m. on Friday of the conference week. Registration will open at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday. Those who arrive on site prior to 8:00 a.m. should not expect to be able to register or check in at that time. We will offer an opportunity for groups arriving on Monday to register and check-in that day between 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., or by special arrangements with the Registrar.
Ground Transportation
In Minneapolis – Parking is at a premium at or near the UMN campus. The limited spaces one may find can be rather expensive. Parking regulations are highly enforced at all times and loading zones are minimal, therefore we discourage folks from a weekly car or van rental. For those flying into Minneapolis, it is strongly recommended that you utilize the light rail service from the airport to the Metrodome stop and transfer to a bus that will take you directly to West Bank. You may wish to pack accordingly. More details and other ground transportation options are listed on the Minnesota Travel Information webpage.
In Asheville – Some ground transportation will be required to get groups flying to North Carolina to Ridgecrest Conference Center. However, parking on site is free, so renting cars/vans will probably be the most economical option for those groups.
