The Young Adult Volunteer program is a yearlong service opportunity for young folks, ages 19-30, in 21 separate sites across the United States and around the world through the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The YAV experience occurs during the academic year, August through July. For more information about each YAV site, visit the link below:

Also, following @yavprogram on all major social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) is a great way to receive up-to-date announcements. Right now current YAVs are taking over the Instagram account for behind-the-scene views at each site. This is a great way for potential candidates to receive an unfiltered view into a YAV year. Finally, a short (three-minute) promotional video can be accessed online here. Please share!
