Covenant House Faith Community
Goal of Program
Our service year program, Covenant House Faith Community, is looking for fun, friendly, compassionate college graduates to serve the homeless and at-risk youth of Covenant House, through direct care and administrative support roles. In addition to serving our youth and building professional skills, you will live with other recent college graduates focused on Catholic/Christian spirituality and simple community living. Faith Community members dedicate their year to our program's three pillars of service, community, and prayer. Your service takes place at our New York Shelter, where you work 40 hours a week helping at-risk youth get back on a healthy life path. You are supported in this ministry by the community you live with: 3- 5 other volunteers in a home provided by the program, where prayer and spirituality are a big part of our daily lives.
