Quaker Voluntary Service
Goal of Program: The goal of Quaker Voluntary Service is to provide transformational experiences for young adult Quakers and those open to Quaker practices. We hope that by engaging in a year of service in a Quaker intentional community, our participants will positively impact organizations and agencies working for social change and justice, develop real relationships across boundaries of perceived difference, and grow and deepen in their faith. Ultimately we hope this program will form and shape young people into lives of service committed to faith, and revitalize our communities in the world.
Placement Type: Long-term: Each QVS volunteer will be placed in an 11-month, full-time position with a local nonprofit, school, or other relevant site placement in one of our cities (Atlanta, GA, Portland, OR, Philadelphia, PA, Boston, MA, or Minneapolis, MN).
