Invite Young Adults to Serve

This section provides helpful resources for YAVs, YAV alums, and friends of the program to invite young people to serve.

To invite young adults to consider a year of service:

Invite a young adult for a coffee, a meal, a walk …

Many YAVs report that they heard about the YAV program because someone took the time to talk to them about it. Sit down with a young adult and listen to how they are discerning God’s call in their life. Explore with them whether a YAV year could be a part of their discernment journey.
