The Assumption Lay Volunteer Programme

is for those who are willing to take up the challenge of living in a culture that is very different to their own and who want to share in the lives of the poor, the young and the marginalized, both in the UK, and with Assumption communities around the world.

The programme is for people with a sense of personal search and openness to unfamiliar ways of working - ways that value people for who they are, not what they do. The primary emphasis of the programme is not the provision of professional services but the mutual sharing of skills and lives.

Assumption Volunteers are:

Aged 20 or above
Living in the UK (We regret WE CANNOT ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FROM OVERSEAS)
Ready to make a commitment of one year (renewable) in project
Able to live simply
Wanting to share in the daily life of poor communities
Living the values of justice, service, and global family
Willing to adapt their skills and talents in service
Respectful of others' religious faith
