Are you a Presbyterian with skills that you want to share? Do you have time to give? Do you want to make a difference? Are you able to make a witness as a Christian in a specific place overseas for a period of three weeks to eleven months?

We have the program for you!

The International Short-Term Volunteer Program links qualified Presbyterians to positions identified by our partners around the world. We will be doing this by working with "Links" — organizations that will work with us to identify placements and will communicate directly with our partners about people who are available and places where short-term workers are needed. As we head into this new program, our Links currently are:

International Presbyterian Educators Network (IPEN)

Universitas Kristen Indonesia Tomohon: 

• Short-Term English Teacher

Presbyterian Church of Cameroon: 

• Short Term Teacher for Computer Technology

Amity Foundation:

• Summer English Teacher

Presbyterian Border Ministries:

• Laredos Unidos Mission Team Assistant
• Pasos de Fe Mission Team Assistant
• Pueblos Hermanos Mission Team Coordinator
• Puentes de Cristo Mission Team Coordinator

Why is the idea of "linking" important?

As a way of realizing our love for the whole body of Christ, partnership is how we do mission. The Presbyterian Church (USA) is but part of that body, and we know that our work should be done in a way that respects our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. We do that by listening to what they have to say. The Presbyterian Church (USA) wants to help connect you with our partners around the world! We want you to experience the power of Christ's love as exemplified in the connectional church. We are called to go out into the world to be examples of Christ's love. Come and be a part of the body of Christ by doing mission in partnership with other Christians around the world.

Join us as an international short-term volunteer!
