Join staff
We have various opportunities for people to serve with us on a long-term or short-term basis. All positions are volunteer positions.
YWAM does not pay its staff. Most of our staff meet their financial needs by partnering with friends, family and churches — and the base community is here to help you learn that walk of faith.
Current volunteer areas include administration, bookkeeping and communications; DTS and other school staff; primary school teachers; and clinic team members and qualified medical personnel.
