The Episcopal
Church offers untold opportunities for young adults to provide service
and share their expertise worldwide through the Young Adult Service
Corps. Commonly known as YASC, applications for 2014-15 are now being
accepted for the Young Adult Service Corps from young adults between the
ages of 21-30.
"YASC provides an
opportunity for young adults to explore their faith in a new capacity
and to live out the Baptismal Covenant by seeking and serving Christ in
all persons," noted the Rev. David Copley, Mission Personnel Officer.
"Applicants must have a high degree of maturity and possess a faith
commitment and the willingness to be a humble guest, and the ability to
be an authentic companion."
The application is available here . The application deadline is January 3, 2014.
