Youth and Young Adult Opportunities

Youth and Young Adult Opportunities

For 60 years, Global Ministries has been sending young people into service. Through the US-2 and mission intern programs, the organization has enriched the lives of thousands of young men and women, and through their witness touched uncountable youth, adults and communities. The US-2 and mission intern programs develop church leaders, as young people work in communities that face issues such as poverty, racism, or environmental justice.

US-2s serve two years living out faith through social justice in the United States. They live, work, and make a positive impact working with a United Methodist partner organization, boldly reexamining their role and participation in society to address systemic injustice. Mission interns integrate the global and local by serving for three years, approximately half of the time in an international community and half in their home country. They respond to the prophetic voice of communities and individuals working for systemic change around the world, walking the path of justice, mercy, and love.

The deadline for the 2012 class of mission interns has already passed. So please look for that opportunity for 2013 later this year and prayerfully consdider if this is something you want to do or share the application with those in your networks and communities between the ages of 20 and 30 throughout our global connection, who are committed to addressing the root causes of injustice.

Mission interns and US-2s are encouraged to engage in disciplined theological reflection and are equipped to discern God’s calling for their lives. Thank you for partnering with Global Ministries in shaping ethical, prophetic Christian leaders who are engaged firsthand in God’s mission in a world of injustice and need.
