JVC Britain - more than just a Gap Year!
LATEST NEWS:
The first volunteers for 2010-11 Gap Year programme arrive on Thursday!
All places for this year have been filled.
Looking for an experience that will change your life ... for good?
Do you want to make a difference to the lives of people in Britain’s inner cities who suffer from poverty, injustice, or social exclusion?
Do you care enough about our planet and resources to live a simple lifestyle for a year, or even for a month?
Can you take on the challenges of living in community with other volunteers, and exploring your spirituality?
Do you need to develop your skills and experience to help you find a career in the third sector, social work, the caring professions, religious life or any other people-centred work?
If you can give a passionate YES to most of these questions, and you are aged 18 - 35, then JVC could be what you’re looking for!
Fully-funded
Our Gap Year and Summer Programmes begin and end in Manchester - all it costs you is your fare there and back again - JVC provides accommodation, living costs and a modest allowance.
JVC volunteers commit to living by a set of four values: community, social justice, spirituality and a simple lifestyle.

Unfortunately, because of recent changes to the UK immigration system, JVC Britain is unable to consider applicants who come from outside the European Economic Area and require a visa.
Is living simply important to you?
Take the liveSimply Papal Visit Challenge:
Take the time to simply chat with at least three others, sharing ideas for living simply, sustainably or in solidarity with the poor. A good starting point might be to find out what people you talk to already do.
We’d love to hear your ideas, so contact us & let us know.
