Key Responsibilities
Each assignment is a unique opportunity; a chance to live out your values, learning from and participating in local work around systemic issues like social justice, climate change, power, and privilege. The skills, knowledge, and personal capacity you build will exercise your faith muscles and help set you up for success in your future career, wherever and whatever that may be. Simply put, it’s a chance to be part of something bigger, including the long-lasting peace work of MCC.
You will be integrated in a local community in a deeper way, building your intercultural skills. You’ll live in community, with a host family or in another form of communal setting. The relationships you will build with the local community and church will be mutually transformative, supporting you, and shifting your perspectives.
Specific responsibilities are listed on each assignment description. (see additional information section below to view the full list of opportunities available for SALT 2025-26).
