Typically, there is at least one RYS project, per continent, per year. This is essential. It is important for all potential participants to fully understand the kind of work we are involved in. Thus, we have alumni around the world, from various religious traditions, who are ready and willing to speak with you. Click here to learn how to contact an RYS Alumnus in your area or of your faith.
Participation is by application.
A committee reviews your application and then informs you on its status. Before participating in a project, you must review the RYS Participant Guide. Click here for the on-line project application. RYS welcomes candidates from 18 - 30 years of age. Volunteers older than 30 may serve in other capacities.
