Join us on a trip to Ethiopia, where you’ll work hand-in-hand with our partner communities to serve their ​most vulnerable members.

​We focus on building sustainable relationships with our partner communities. As a volunteer, you will spend several days in the same community, working directly with children, families, and community leaders.  As a part of a team of 8-12, you will have the opportunity to spend 7 to 12 days in Ethiopia, working through the established local church in the community. You will play a critical role in building the capacity of local families, equipping them with training, activities, and programs to help their communities thrive. 

You can make a difference by:
  • Helping women to better care for their families through basic health lessons
  • Supporting the community’s urgent medical needs through mobile health clinics
  • Helping teachers to deliver high-quality education through training
  • Brightening a child’s day by playing games, singing songs, or even kicking around a soccer ball
"Serving with Three Roots on the medical mission was a dream come true. Working in the developing countries was not new, but the enormity of the needs of this community was still stunning. The thing that kept it from being overwhelming was that we saw such empowerment of the local community taking place through the incredible leadership at all levels of Three Roots. It was truly a snapshot of development done right, to observe their team in action. The wisdom, compassion, and long-term commitment to creating local leaders was an inspiration to us all."
​~ Cheryl Spessert, former Volunteer Team Member

​"Going on a trip like this never crossed my mind. I was the last person I knew that would ever consider taking that leap of faith, until God opened up a door for me at the unlikeliest time of times. I stopped contemplating in my head the 'what if's' and took the leap... And since then, I have never regretted that  decision- it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life."
~ Peter Gabriel, former Volunteer Team Member

​"Five years after my last trip to Ethiopia I am still thinking fondly about my time there and the authentic joy and love of the people we served and worshiped alongside."
~ Emily Callahan, former Volunteer Team Leader
