S.E.R.V.E. is open to young men and women, age 18 to 35, who are serious about their personal spiritual growth and want an experience of Christian community.  Past S.E.R.V.E. participants have come from across Western Canada, Ontario, and from the United States of America.  Many people who have attended S.E.R.V.E. are now in key leadership roles in the Church (i.e. Youth Coordinators, Catechists, apostolic workers, parish council members, etc.). For others, their S.E.R.V.E. experience provided the necessary insight, discernment and courage to make a career or life choice.

All S.E.R.V.E. participants must fill out an application and go through a screening process, which includes a reference from their pastor and/or relevant peers.
