YAGM volunteers will begin in August 2021 and will be placed in one of the country programs. As YAGM continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation and we communicate with our global companions, please know that the list of country programs for the 2021-2022 service year may change.
Through YAGM, young adults will learn what it means to serve in a spirit of accompaniment as they walk alongside global church companions. They’ll become immersed in a new community and form deep relationships. And they’ll confront issues of wealth and poverty, racial privilege, gender privilege, economic disparity and globalization, all through the lens of faith. Learn more at ELCA.org/YAGM.
Young adults will find relevant opportunities for professional experience, including:
- Health and human rights: health care, HIV and AIDS, homelessness, immigration and refugees
- Education: fine arts, youth education, childhood education, working with people living with disabilities
- Environmental justice: agriculture and farming, development, environment
- Professional support: office work, communication, technology, finance
- Congregational ministry: children’s ministry, Christian education, youth ministry, congregational ministry, camp ministry
Around the world, host families, churches, workplaces and communities are ready to welcome YAGM volunteers
