Where a desire to serve meets a place to grow.
Many young people feel called to leave the world's systems and pursue God's plan for living through agriculture, country living, or outpost ministry, but lack a clear path forward. AdAgrA's Find Your Field program, in partnership with Advent Youth, helps bridge that gap. It brings together young people who want to serve with farms, outposts, and mentors offering real opportunities to learn, contribute, and grow.
The Advent Youth Framework
Before deciding what to do, we need to understand why. Through Advent Youth's seven-stage framework, we begin by examining our perceptions, how we see the world and the assumptions shaping our decisions. We examine our beliefs and the values that govern our choices. From there, we explore our identity, who we are becoming, and our purpose, where God may be calling us to serve. Finally, we examine our motivation, who we are doing this for, and turn that understanding into action.
"Find Your Field: Workshop Track
The youth track runs alongside AdAgrA's main program, joining the morning keynotes before moving into dedicated workshops. Across three days, we follow Restore, Develop, and Realize: restoring our focus and perspective, developing character and practical skills, and putting what we learn into action through other-centered service.
Connect With Real Opportunities
The Field Exchanges bring youth together with farmers, outpost leaders, and mentors to explore internships, apprenticeships, employment, garden-management roles, and opportunities to collaborate. The goal is not simply to leave inspired, but to leave with a clearer direction, real connections, and a practical 90-day plan, whether your next step is an apprenticeship, a mentor conversation, a farm visit, or a project of your own.
