Groups with Children/Students:

Mercy House Global welcome groups with children and/or students. For children ages 6 and older, we can provide age appropriate volunteer tasks and duties, when available, but we require that parents supervise and serve alongside of their children at all times. Children must be at least 12 years old to assist with packing Fair Trade Friday boxes. Students under 18 years old must also be accompanied by a parent or adult, who stays on the premises with them during the duration of the volunteer time.

Mercy House Global requires all groups with students/children under age 18 to have adult supervision within the group while serving, and each minor have a Parental Consent Form on file. You can find that form here.

To be able to adequately prepare the service projects from our end, please share the ages of those who will be attending with your group:

How many adults (over 18 years old) will be participating/volunteering?

How many students (12-18 years old) will be volunteering?

How many children (6-11 years old) will be volunteering?

For the safety of both the children volunteering, and the stewardship of the fair trade product we handle daily, we ask that children under 12 years old have an adult serving right alongside them the entire duration of the volunteer time.

How many children under 6 (0-5 years old) will be attending?

(We do not have projects for children under 6, but they are welcome to attend with their parent)

Are there any physical restrictions or limitations that we should be aware of:

Submitting this form is not confirmation that your group has been scheduled, but provides us with the information required to appropriately schedule your group based on project needs currently at Mercy House Global.
