This depends on where you’re from:
‍
- If you’re a resident of a Schengen Area country: no, not matter which program you’re coming for.
‍
- If you’re a resident of a country that qualifies for 90-day visa free travel into the Schengen Area: no, unless you’re coming for SBS. See here to find out if you qualify.
‍
- If you are not a resident of a country that qualifies for 90-day visa free travel into the Schengen Area: you will need to apply for a tourist visa. Once you are accepted onto a training program, we can provide you with a packet of information to support your application but you are responsible for the visa process and the costs. Please note that the Dutch government advises that you apply for a tourist visa at least 45 days in advance of travel.
‍
- If you are coming for SBS: your school leaders will give you more information about what you will need to do but the process for this visa is longer.

No, unfortunately, we do not offer scholarships for any of our training programs. One of our Foundational Values is to Practice Dependance on God for finances so we will pray and trust God with you for the finances.

Each course that we offer looks different as they each have their own focus. A typical week of a student is filled with class, prayer and worship times as a school, daily work duties, on-on-one mentorship, small groups to process, ministry in the city and time for assignments which differ from school to school. Most schools that we run have around 9-12 hours of class each week. As a base we have weekly rhythms that students also join in with, including weekly worship, intercession and ministry nights.

Unfortunately, at the moment we are not taking volunteers and likely won't for a while due to our housing being at its full capacity. If you feel called to come as a long-term staff, please contact us at frontdesk@ywam.nl or the ministry team you are interested in joining..
