IS ONE REVOLUTION FOR ME?

One Revolution is FOR ME if …

I’m over 17 and feel a “call” to service, exploration and personal transformation
I’m willing to deal with culture shock, new & challenging situations, and simple living conditions.
I’m enthusiastic about making a journey into unknown inner and outer terrain.
I’m motivated to find out what I’m made of, and finding renewed sources of meaning
I look forward to being challenged to grow in many new and different ways.
I REALLY want to do this program for MY OWN reasons, rather than because somebody else thinks it's a good idea for me.
I’m willing to do hard work, and be uncomfortable in order to learn more about myself.

One Revolution is NOT FOR ME if …

I’m looking for a vacation, a party, or a chance to “hang out.”
I think that One Revolution is merely a good chance to travel
I only want to do it because someone else thinks it’s a really good idea for me.
I’m only willing to stick with something until I become bored or uncomfortable or judge it as “a waste of time.”
I regularly use drugs, alcohol or tobacco or am in the grip of an active addiction.
I need therapy for a serious psychological condition.
I’m not willing to be away from my boyfriend/girlfriend, friends and family for five months.

A quote from the parent of a Spring 2009 ONE REVOLUTION participant:

Thanks for the program. Our daughter benefited tremendously...she told me that it was a dream come true for her to experience working with disadvantaged kids in less developed countries...and as she charts her course (God grant me patience while she does :-))...I know her time during the One Revolution program will be a huge influence/motivator.
