Global Justice Volunteers

A short-term volunteer program for young adults aged 18-30

The Global Justice Volunteers Program is a short term service opportunity designed for and by young adults. Participants range in ages from 18-30. Small teams of volunteers spend 10 weeks of their summer learning and working alongside local communities exploring the role and responsibility of the church to engage in mission, ministry, and service which seeks to transform our world into a more just place. This short term experience provides young people all over the world, coming from a diverse range of backgrounds to spend their summer in service.
