YAGM Program

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America´s Young Adults in Global Mission (YAGM) program is a cross-cultural service year experience where young adults are placed in a specific country and site location where they learn to accompany those in their host communities while expanding their worldview and view of themselves. Volunteers are encouraged to lean into difficult moments and different experiences in order to promote self-growth and learning with the knowledge that we are all human beings and children of God on this earth. The 2023-2024 YAGM volunteers are currently serving in the country placements of Mexico, the UK, Hungary, Argentina & Uruguay, Jerusalem & the West Bank(*sent home after 2 months due to the rise in conflict in the area*), and Senegal.
