Bahá’í World Centre continues to invite friends to serve

Periodically the Bahá’í World Centre sends out a notice drawing attention to the availability of opportunities to serve there. Such a notice was received recently and provides a reminder of the bounties of arising to meet the needs of the Faith in this way.

The notice reads:

OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE AT THE BAHÁ’Í WORLD CENTRE

As the vital work of the Cause unfolds in every part of the world, the effective functioning of the Bahá’í World Centre takes on added significance. The World Centre of the Faith — described by Shoghi Effendi as the “pivot of the agencies of the New World Order” — is supported by a flow of believers from a diversity of countries and occupations who arise selflessly to offer a period of service, of varying length, in the Holy Land. The staffing needs at the World Centre are continually changing in light of the evolving demands and available resources. At any given time, there are roles to be filled which require particular competencies or specialised training, and others that simply require a readiness to learn about one’s specific assignment. Due to the nature of service at the World Centre, the essential requirements include an ability to offer 12 months or more and a basic proficiency in English.

Anyone interested in learning more about the possibility of offering a period of service at the World Centre is encouraged to contact the Office of Personnel at serve@bwc.org. Offers of service can also be submitted directly at our new website: service.bwc.org.
