Description

Mission Year is a radical opportunity for Christian young people (single or married) to live out the simplest and most important commandment of Jesus: "Love the Lord your God, and love your neighbor as yourself." By living and working for a year in a low-income, urban neighborhood, partnering with a local church, volunteering at a social service agency, and spending time with neighbors, our Mission Year team members effectively impact their communities while catching a deeper vision for what the Kingdom of God is like.

Requirements:
18 years or older with a heart to serve, learn and live in an under-resourced urban neighborhood for a year. Singles and married folks are welcome (sorry, no children).

In terms of skills needed, service and outreach opportunities vary GREATLY (including community development, homeless ministry, after-school programs, medical clinic, arts centers, to name a few). Because of this, passion and flexibility are a must!
