We are so excited to have James as part of this year's YASC cohort! Thank you to our friends at Episcopal Service Corps for this great profile.

A year with ESC opens up a variety of opportunities, from jobs to graduate school to new service experiences. This past year, James Nigel Goff served at On Sacred Ground - Wyoming Service Corps. James shared that "I didn't know what I wanted to do after college and this year has opened up so many opportunities for personal growth, career advancement, and community building. ESC is truly the gift that keeps on giving. You'll never know what you're missing out on until you try it, and Wyoming: On Sacred Ground has been blessing after blessing."

But James' service with The Episcopal Church is ongoing! He is joining the 2025-2026 cohort of Young Adult Service Corps (YASC), where he will be serving in the Episcopal Diocese of Honduras. James is looking forward to "getting to experience another culture and daily life, meet people from across the world, and engage in meaningful, challenging, and uplifting work that will become part of my Life Story."

We are so proud of our alums!
