The Young Adult Volunteer Program offers exciting opportunities in Christian service for young adults (19 to 30 years of age.) The Young Adult Volunteer Program has 18 sites in the United States and abroad, and requires a commitment of one academic year. Young Adult Volunteers serve in communities of need. The job descriptions for the volunteers depend both on the needs of our partners and the skills of the Young Adult Volunteer. Learn more about the YAV program.
