Mission Volunteer Opportunities
Mission Volunteers are individuals or couples (ages 18 and up), who seek long-term partnerships with communities around the world. Mission Volunteer opportunities are diverse and range from working with refugees, children and youth, serving as a teacher, pastor, camp director or health care professional. The length of service ranges from two months to more than two years. This is an example of a current opportunity:
- New Mexico: McCurdry Ministries Community Center is seeking a summer camp assistant for three months or more to monitor classrooms, chaperone classroom field trips, and assist with any other program needs.
