Mennonite Mission Network service programs help connect participants of all ages with what God is doing in the world. Through the community-centered placements of Mennonite Voluntary Service (MVS) and Service Adventure, the flexible serve-anywhere structure of Service Opportunities with Our Partners (SOOP), engaging in God's work around the world with Youth Venture, or journeying in solidarity through Just Peace Pilgrimage, Mission Network program participants have experienced the peace that blossoms through service for over 70 years. 

 

Mission Network service alumni understand the formative impact service can have — an impact that extends not just to the volunteer, but to people around them as well. Perhaps you’ve experienced the peace that comes with service firsthand as well. Now, we want your help to pass along peace to others by donating to Mission Network.

 

Your gift supports future participants in MVS, Service Adventure, SOOP and Youth Venture. With your help, we can ensure that more participants in our service programs experience the transformative power of service and become agents of God’s peace and hope in their communities.

 

Whether you give a little or a lot, your contribution will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our personnel and partners. Thank you for your continued support of Mission Network, and for being part of this community – your community. Together, we can continue to pass along the peace to future generations. 

 

Now until May 12, your donation will be doubled by a matching gift from a generous committed donor like you! Click the link below to pass along peace to the next generation. All donations received by 11:59 pm Eastern on May 12 will be matched up to $20,000!
