Since 1951, young adults have served in mission in the United States as US-2s. Over the years, US-2s have crossed boundaries and formed meaningful relationships to better understand the needs of local communities.

Fellows who serve in the US-2 track witness deep-rooted systems of injustice in their own country and desire to advocate for change. Historically, US-2s leave their home state during service, giving them the opportunity to see a new community with a fresh perspective while learning about systems preventing change. The program’s placement sites offer direct work experience, job training and mentorship for fellows while meeting immediate needs in the placement context.
