Long-term service covers a three month to one year interval and can be renewed. Long-term service can begin any time during the year, though most openings are available in August or September. Volunteers are encouraged to continue to grow spiritually while serving others. Volunteers come together with The Dwelling Place Community for weekend gatherings throughout the year to foster continued spiritual growth. Volunteers are provided with housing, food, health and a small stipend for personal expenses.
Health insurance is offered if the time of service is at least one year.
Individuals are expected to cover the cost of travel to The Dwelling Place. Married couples and single men and women, twenty-one years of age and older are eligible. Applicants should have a desire to foster the reign of God by serving in this multicultural area of Mississippi. Application forms and additional information about the Volunteer Program can be requested either on-line, by regular mail, or by phone.
