Blue Ridge Service Corps (BRSC) is a nine-month service corps program in which young adults between the ages 20-26 build intentional community, work full time at social service and social change agencies, and explore themes of spiritual, personal, and leadership growth.
An ideal BRSC Fellow is committed to working with diverse community members, brings a willingness to explore and practice spirituality and leadership development and is prepared to work in a professional setting.

BRSC Fellows will work at partner site placement organizations addressing a wide range of social and environmental issues including, but not limited to economic justice, housing and homelessness, education, environmental sustainability, and youth justice.
