Thank you for your interest in serving on the GEM Teams BFA project. Below you will find the list of requirements for completing the application process.

2. Background check
For volunteers 18 years old+, a background check is required. If the church or organization you are serving through will be providing confirmation of completed background checks, please email shorttermvolunteers@gemission.org with the contact info of the responsible party who can confirm the completed background check.
3. Submit proof of measles vaccination
