Volunteers
We’re looking for people who love Jesus and have a passion to serve the youth of Puerto Rico. When you volunteer with Youth For Christ Puerto Rico, you become part of a mission that is shaping lives, building relationships, and pointing students to the hope found in Christ. Students today are longing for mentors who see them, believe in them, and walk with them through real life. Your presence, your story, and your faith can make an eternal difference—whether you help during weekly programs, lead small groups, support events, or simply show up with love and consistency. If you feel called to serve and invest in the next generation, we’d love to meet you. Learn more through our orientation video.
