What is Good News Corps (GNC)?
Good News Corps is an IYF volunteering initiative that helps develop next generation’s leaders by instilling a broadened view of the world and the spirit for self-sacrifice. GNC creates opportunities for college-aged men and women to travel overseas and directly engage in all aspects of foreign culture: language, cuisine, music, architecture, sports, and traditional performances. Through 10 months of service with these various interactions, GNCorps volunteers develop a global perspective and gain a genuine heart to serve others.
Mission Work
GNC prides itself on a diverse multi-component program that trains the mind, body, and spirit. GNC activities include visitations, spiritual counseling, youth and community outreach.
Cultural Exchange
Volunteers present their cultural findings through exhibit displays, as well as dances, songs, and “true stories” play productions.
Language Studies
Language has the power to not only communicate ideas, but a person’s hopes and dreams to others. GNCorps volunteers are placed in the best possible situation to learn languages.
Youth Outreach
Good News Corps carries out the IYF mission of addressing youth delinquency. Volunteers are positioned to be positive role models who change the mindsets of at-risk youths.
