ELCA Global Mission
Global service is a key element of the ELCIC’s partnership with ELCA Global Mission (GM). ELCIC members interested in global service can contact the ELCA GM office in Chicago directly where the global service staff team will respond to inquiries, receive applications and conduct interviews. ELCA GM has opportunities for volunteers in the Global Mission Volunteers and Young Adults in Global Mission programs. There are also opportunities for compensated mission personnel including long-term positions and two or three-year contracts. ELCIC members who are approved for compensated positions will be joint placements employed by the ELCIC and supervised by ELCA GM. While volunteers will not be official joint placements, all ELCIC members assigned to global service by ELCA GM will be included on the mission personnel poster on the ELCIC GM web site.
For ELCA GM contact information and the catalogue of global service opportunities available to ELCIC members, visit the ELCA GM web site.
Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR)
CLWR is continuing the International Volunteer Service (IVS) program. IVS volunteers serve full time, normally for periods of six months to two years, in placements that are related to CLWR’s mission as an international relief and development agency.
