Mission
Young Adult Missional Movement (YAMM) is a program of The Florida Conference of the United Methodist church that provides opportunities for young adults ages 18 – 30 to get connected in communities throughout the state of Florida in order to serve others while living in intentional community.
Young adult leaders receive meaningful, hands-on experience working with social justice agencies and church communities involved in social change. The focus on intentional community provides a support system while wrestling questions of meaning, purpose and life's next steps.

Applicants must have a desire to serve in a community-based organization or a church and to live in intentional community.
