OVC seeks to harness the power of service to strengthen communities. We believe service is attentive to the needs and assets of neighbors, collaborative and strategic, persistent in adversity, and self-sacrificial in working for the greater good. At OVC, we aim to unlock and foster service among young adults. The Orthodox Christian tradition is replete with calls for and examples of service. Young people within and beyond the Orthodox Church are hungry to serve. OVC channels passion, sharpens skills, deepens faith, and matches people with placements. We are nurturing a new generation of Orthodox Christians who live in humble service to neighbors across the country.
