BUT FIRST…
The Main Qualifications for an Altius Participant
The desire to model and live out Christian leadership through serving their local community in the areas that they have committed to (youth group, school faith clubs, sports teams, etc.)
It is highly recommended that the participant is already committed to a leadership role in a specific group, however it is not obligatory.
The willingness to take on a deep and committed involvement in this program with enough maturity and dedication.
The willingness to commit and live out the Altius Creed which lays out specific faith and moral standards for the members, challenging them to strive for sanctity and excellence in virtue from the get-go.
Applicants need to have a formal recommendation from their youth directors/ministers/pastors before being accepted.
