The International Guest House, located in Washington, D.C., needs 12-month host volunteers beginning April 2018. (Those serving a full year receive a monthly stipend and health insurance while all other volunteers receive full room and board.) Rotating duties include cleaning, maintenance, baking, gardening, and interacting with guests at breakfast and the evening tea.

The three-pronged focus for volunteers is on hospitality to guests, being in community with one another, and your own personal time exploring the city. The International Guest House is located in a friendly, established neighborhood with easy access to public transportation. Former volunteers at the International Guest House in Washington have found it to be a life-changing experience. This 50-year-old Christian ministry is under the auspices of the Allegheny Conference.
