How to become a Hosting Agency

Thank you for your interest in hosting NOMADS.  If you are a United Methodist affiliated organization and would like to partner with NOMADS in mission-related projects, we would love to hear from you!  Our standard projects are three weeks in duration and are led by an experienced NOMADS team leader.  We work four days per week, Monday through Thursday, in the Southern regions in the wintertime and at various locations the remainder of the year.

        The host agency provides the NOMADS with RV parking and hook-ups.  This can be at your work site or at a campground.  Full hook-ups include 30 amp electric service, water and (if possible) sewerage hookups.  However if a dump station for “black water” is available nearby, this can be utilized. Your site would also need a “project receptionist ” and a “work project supervisor” to help acclimate NOMADS to your area and to handle having materials ready.  If you would like a DVD on hosting NOMADS, contact the NOMADS office.

        If after looking at these materials and discussing it with members of your church or organization, you want the help of NOMADS, please complete the NOMADS Application (below) along with details of the work to be accomplished, maps of how to get to your site, and any information about your church/project which would be helpful and mail, email or fax to our office as soon as possible. Our administrator will then call to discuss your project. 

        I hope this helps to answer any questions you may have about NOMADS.  Please feel free to call on me at any time.
