Thirteen young adults representing 14 Episcopal Church dioceses are serving as missionaries in the Young Adult Service Corps (YASC) for the 2017-2018 term in locales throughout the Anglican Communion. Five of them are continuing their ministries with YASC for a second year.

YASC is a ministry of the Episcopal Church for young adults, ages 21 – 30, who are interested in exploring their faith in new ways by living and serving in communities around the Anglican Communion.

Each YASC missionary maintains a blog, detailing his/her service, reflections and adventures. Elizabeth Boe, Episcopal Church Mission Personnel Officer and a former YASC missionary who served in Tanzania, said blogs enable the young adults to serve as evangelists both in their host dioceses and at home.
