SERVE IN ONE OF FIVE CITIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
U.S. volunteers serve a one-year term in one of five different service cities across the United States in the areas of social services, education, and healthcare. Volunteers begin their year of service in early August and finish mid-late July of the following year.
“Being a Mercy Volunteer, living with other volunteers, striving to live simply, and broadening my concept of spirituality has been an incredible and meaningful experience. I hope to take all that I have seen and learned this year and use it to inform my personal, professional, social, and spiritual life moving forward.”
