You could teach English to immigrants in New York City, repair roofs for the disadvantaged in Memphis, Tennessee, provide medical care to refugees in Atlanta, Georgia, or choose from several other opportunities.

Serve on a short-term missions trip, sharing the Gospel. There are opportunities for nursing, pharmacy, children's ministry, engineering, camp ministry, and much more.
