Welcome

Welcome to the Youth transitions, international volunteering and religious transformations research project. This study seeks to explore the personal and religious transitions and transformations of young evangelical Christians who participate in faith-based volunteering projects in Latin America. By exploring the processes, religious spaces and experiences which are produced and constructed by young Christians, we will contribute to understanding the role of international experience in shaping young people’s religious identities.

This project is funded through the AHRC and ESRC collaborative Religion and Society Research Programme.

The following pages will introduce you to the project and update you on progress throughout, including research outputs as well as young peoples' perspectives of their transitions and experiences.

If you have any questions or comments about the project or this website please do not hesitate to contact me.
