YEAR-LONG PROGRAM
WASHINGTON, DC
Special Notice
For nearly 40 years, the Westmoreland Service Corps (WSC) has offered five young adults an opportunity for year-long meaningful service, simple living and spiritual growth in intentional community.
However, after careful consideration and deliberation, we have ceased recruitment for the 2022-2023 program year to create space for examination and re-visioning.
During this time, we encourage anyone interested in service opportunities to contact the following local agencies directly. Thank you.
