YASC offers one-year assignments to work with a local church (or church-founded institution/ program) as well as a component of guided reflection and mentoring.

The program intends to bring young adults into the life of the Anglican Communion and into the daily work of a particular communities; yet it also intends to bring the resources of the church into the lives of younger people as they explore down what paths their faith may be leading them. The emphases of YASC include cultural engagement, spiritual commitment, and vocational reflection - lived out together in a work of service.
