Full Time Staff & Volunteer Opportunities

What types of positions
does YUGO have?
Administrative Positions - YUGO's administrative office in Southern California supports all our ministries and field workers in Mexico. We create, print and ship our own literature and training materials, and handle all donor relations, receipting and employment record keeping. YUGO Canada has also opened an office in Edmonton, Alberta, responsible for booking Canadian teams and donor relations.

Evangelistic Outreach Positions - Over 3,000 Americans and Canadians minister in Mexico with YUGO each year, attending one of our 11 one-week outreach trips. YUGO's evangelistic outreach staff work both administratively (in the U.S. or Canada) and in Mexico during our outreaches. 

Field Ministry Positions - YUGO's ministries in Mexico are expanding, and so are the number of field missionaries serving full time.  Most field positions require some Spanish-speaking ability (although there are Mexican language schools available). 

Mercy Ministry Positions - As in other third-world countries, the people of Mexico are consumed by the daily struggles of survival and as a result, health and nutritional needs are rampant.
