Pilgrim College

We understand the importance of sustainability. Every year Pilgrim Relief Society trains dedicated young volunteers how to live and work in remote locations around the world. Students learn the physical and psychological challenges of this type of work, and how to help tribes better their own lifestyles. In 2007 Pilgrim College for Remote Tribes was opened in Vama, Romania. Three generations of students are currently on field placement.

Nothing can be achieved if we don’t train young people to continue this work started by the founders of Pilgrim Society. Recruiting young people from all over the world is relatively easy. What is more difficult is finding the right people who have a calling for something like this, people that can adapt to various conditions of life, that can sacrifice of their culture and beliefs and fall in love with our remote cultures. Pilgrim Society had a special training school in Europe in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania, which operated from January 2007 to July 2009, where three generations of young people trained there for the work with the remote tribes. The school is temporarily suspended until the new building is finished in the PSDP (Pilgrim Society Development Project) in the Kalahari.

The purpose of the school is to train young people from all over the world to continue the projects of the Society. Presently there are close to 60 volunteers that have gone through our training and are now actively involved in the projects of Pilgrim Society.

Every year, short-term volunteers come to work in the projects for 1-2 months at a time. This is an invaluable experience and we encourage all young people under 27 to do it at least once in their lifetime.
