Orthodox Volunteer Corps (OVC) is a ministry of our Church for Orthodox young adults, 21 to 29 years old and one of the newest Agencies of the Assembly of Bishops.

OVC offers a 10-month immersive residency experience for young adults that integrates service placements with vulnerable communities, weekly formation in Orthodoxy and community-based leadership development, living in community with other young adults, and immersion in the life of the Church.
