Quaker Voluntary service is an experiment, living at the intersection of transformational spirituality and activism. Young adults work full-time in professional positions at community based organizations addressing a wide range of issues, while living in a cooperative house and worshiping with, and being mentored by, local Quakers. Fellows receive housing, transportation, food, support for health and wellness (including access to health insurance if needed), and a small stipend, while engaging in regular self-led workshops and retreats that allow for continuing education in social justice, faith, and community building topics.

We are excited to share a new summer program offering —
NEW in 2025! Quaker Voluntary Service is launching a 5-week summer program in Philadelphia for young adults aged 18-20 years old.
Summer Fellows will be on site July 7 - August 10, to do service projects together, live in intentional community, and participate in workshops and spiritual deepening activities. Fellows will also be involved in shaping the program through a process of group discernment conducted in the spring through five virtual pre-sessions. In this way, our program will be by young adults as well as for young adults.
Application due date is March 1, 2025
9.5-month Fellowship program for young adults aged 21-30 in Boston, Philadelphia, Twin Cities (MN), and Portland, OR.
This well-established program guides Fellows through an experiment at the intersection of transformational spirituality and activism. Fellows live in intentional community, work for social justice nonprofits, and engage in Quaker spiritual practices. After doing our program, we find that Fellows have created relational networks that support their personal and professional development for many years.
