Service
Join us for a term of service in the newest MVS unit—in the city of Rochester, located in the Finger Lakes region of western New York.  We call our unit “Jubilee North,” and we have openings with organizations working in conflict resolution and restorative justice, advocacy for migrant farm workers, health care for the underserved, hospitality for the homeless, and other areas.  We are still developing positions for the Rochester unit, so tell us your passion, and we’ll look for a service position in that area.

Location
Greater Rochester’s population of over one million offers a lively and diverse urban setting for your service experience.  Home to Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, Rochester has a long tradition of progressive social activism, and it boasts a wide range of artistic, cultural and educational resources.  Like many mid-sized cities, Rochester faces numerous challenges, including a high level of poverty, racial divisions, and social conflicts.  We seek to bless the Rochester community through our Christian service.

Church
Rochester Area Mennonite Fellowship (RAMF) offers enthusiastic leadership and a supportive spiritual home during the service term for participants.

Unit
Jubilee North is located in a rented property in the Nineteenth Ward, an historic and ethnically diverse neighborhood of Rochester.  Because we’re new, the first groups of volunteers will have the chance to shape the personality and traditions of our unit in significant ways.
