Presbyterian Volunteer Villages provide a predictable, safe, and sanitary environment for volunteer groups where they can live in community while serving others. The vision of the village is to create community among all the volunteers present in the village each week. Community is created one week at a time, facilitated by a village manager, who is also a volunteer.

PDA is currently sponsoring Presbyterian Volunteer Villages in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Explore information about each village site, and learn how your volunteer team can help!

Additional information about the Presbyterian Volunteer Villages can be found in this downloadable village brochure.
