Individual Volunteer Program
The United Methodist Church, in partnership with churches and institutions in the U.S.A. and other countries, has identified opportunities for individual volunteers, either single or as married couples.
The usual length of service is two months to two years. The individual volunteer is expected to cover the cost of transportation and personal expenses in the place of assignment. Because individual volunteers will be viewed as missionaries by the host community, they should possess a growing Christian faith and understanding of mission, be active in a local church, and be flexible. Living in a different culture presents challenges that require maturity and strong interpersonal and cross-culture skills.
You can click on and print out the application, reference request, and medical information forms above, or contact the Individual Volunteer Program to mail them to you, except if you reside in one of the nine southeastern United States, in which case you should contact UMVIM, SEJ; be sure to give your mailing address and phone number.
