We do not put a cap on one’s intended length of service and life with us here. That duration should rest entirely on God’s direction to you as an individual. However, YWAM has the worldwide policy (to which we abide) of having volunteers serve for a maximum of 6 months. Staff can serve indefinitely at any YWAM location. The main difference between volunteers and staff (except the varied length of service with the YWAM Base) is that staff have done and successfully completed a Discipleship Training School (DTS).
