Orthodox Volunteer Corps (OVC), an agency of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America, is now recruiting Orthodox young adults for its fall 2026 cohorts in Boston and Pittsburgh.
The ministry offers a 10-month residency experience for young adults that integrates service placements with vulnerable communities, weekly formation in Orthodoxy and leadership development, life in community with other young adults, and immersion in the life of the Church.

OVC’s early application deadline is Jan. 26, and the regular application deadline is Feb. 19. Orthodox Christians who are eager to serve and aged 21-29 can learn how to apply here. If you would like to nominate someone, you may do so here.
In a social media post, OVC issued the following statement:
“Today we officially launch our 5th season of recruitment for the Fall 2026 full-time program of OVC. In September 2022, we began with six participants in one city. Now we have 16 FT Corps Members across two cities–Boston and Pittsburgh. Every year, we facilitate a year of immersive service & learning with our most vulnerable neighbors and rooted in the Orthodox faith. Every year, participants tell us the difference it makes. We now have 27 alumni working in a variety of settings (medicine, engineering, education, HR, direct service, Orthodox ministries) and others pursuing advanced degrees. Want to join with others to put your faith in action? See yourself at OVC.”
