ELCA Young Adults - Urban Servant Corps

Service! Intentional Community! Simplicity! Spirituality!
If these values are important to you, consider joining the Urban Servant Corps community in Denver, CO.

At USC, we believe that service is transformational -- it creates the opportunity for shared humanity and to faithfully respond to one another's needs. Our full-time volunteers live in an intentional community house in downtown Denver with others who are committed to social justice, racial justice, and accompanying vulnerable populations. Food, housing, health insurance, a monthly stipend and an annual "growth and development" allotment are provided. Additionally, Spiritual Direction, alumni mentorship, and professional development opportunities are offered as part of this experience.

What service opportunities are available

USC positions accompany people experiencing homelessness, offer empowerment opportunities for women, educate pregnant and parenting teens, serve environmentally sustainable organizations and assist in resettling refugees.

Do I have to be Lutheran/Christian?

While we are ELCA-affiliated, we only ask that you are open and comfortable with engaging in conversations around spirituality and theology.

Are LGBTQIA+ participants welcome?
