Join us for a year in Pittsburgh or Boston. Service does not happen in a vacuum or only in your head. It’s hands on, real people in real places. So, at OVC, we set you up in a house, we embed you in a neighborhood, we connect you to a nonprofit for your service placement, and we introduce you to a city. We do it all so you have the chance to love your neighbor in a way you may have never done before–serving with vulnerable communities, with people who have been pushed to the margins of the city and who have so much to teach us all. 

Take a journey with us. In Pittsburgh, you’ll find the ease of a mid-sized city with the amenities of a big one. In Boston, you’ll get a classic East Coast city with a rich history. Both places have vibrant Orthodox communities, innovative nonprofits, post-program job and school opportunities, storied (and rival) sports teams, and easy access to nature.
