Mission agency seeks young adult recruits

Jan. 5, 2005

NEW YORK (UMNS) -- The United Methodist Board of Global Ministries is
recruiting young adults for its mission intern and US 2 programs in
2005. Application deadline for both programs is Feb. 1. The age range is
20 to 30 years old.

For more than 50 years, the US 2 Program has offered young adults the
opportunity to serve in mission in the United States. US 2 missionaries
live out their faith while doing ministries that focus on social justice
and work with people in communities pushed to the margins. A two-year
commitment is required for the program.

The mission intern program offers young adults the opportunity to serve
in an overseas assignment and an assignment in their home country for a
total of three years. Such assignments deal with issues of conflict
resolution, community development, education and youth development.

Both programs emphasize leadership development and focus on spirituality
as it relates to social justice in today's society. Young adults live
with and learn from communities that struggle with injustice.

More information is available at http://gbgm-umc.org/who_we_are/mp, the
board's mission personnel Web site. Applications are available online or
by contacting the Young Adult Program Office at (212) 870 3660 or
sending an e-mail toMIRYAP1@gbgm-umc.org.
