本文提供了重要的见解，当代青年过渡的性质，以及宗教信仰和参与国际志愿服务的影响和相互作用的方式与人生历程的谈判。坐落在跨学科的辩论青年过渡，以及年龄，宗教和非营利组织的关系地理的讨论，我们展示了多重关系，在发挥作用，作为年轻的宗教国际志愿者谈判过渡到宗教成年。我们专注于宗教，职业和老年人的关系，探索这些是如何参与，并经历了，年轻人“在那里”在拉丁美洲和“回家”在英国。此外，我们将探讨这些关系如何塑造宗教信仰，年龄（青年）和志愿服务之间的身份，以及如何通过网络，流量和流动性（重新）组织这些。为此，我们借鉴了我们对年轻志愿者的经验的分析，这些志愿者参与了一个福音派基督教组织的基于信仰的国际志愿服务，该组织派遣年轻人团队前往拉丁美洲进行短期任务。我们利用我们的分析两组采访22名年轻志愿者，其中14人还完成了日记，他们的经验，辅以四个焦点小组。我们的分析点的方式，其中的空间重点的地理参与与青年过渡可以很好地通过宗教的考虑，一个关键的挑战是如何年轻的志愿者重新谈判他们的宗教自我感返回“回家”。此外，尽管我们的参与者对年龄的社会结构表现出一些自我反思，但他们并不一定理解支撑他们与他人相遇的力量。最后，我们的研究结果开辟了欣赏志愿服务经验的多样性和志愿者组织在塑造那些谁参加他们的计划的期望和愿望的作用的可能性。
This paper offers important insights into the contemporary nature of youth transitions and the ways in which religious affiliation and engagement with international volunteering influences and interplays with negotiations of the life course. Situated within interdisciplinary debates about youth transitions, as well as discussions about relational geographies of age, religion and voluntarism, we demonstrate the multiple relationalities that are at play as young religious international volunteers negotiate the transition to religious adulthood. We focus on religious, vocational and aged relationalities to explore how these are engaged with, and experienced by, young people ‘over there’ in Latin America and ‘back home’ in the UK. Additionally, we explore how these relationalities shape identities within and between religiosity, age (youth) and volunteering, and how these are (re)organised through networks, flows and mobilities. To do so, we draw on our analysis of the experiences of young volunteers who participated in faith‐based international volunteering with an evangelical Christian organisation that sends teams of young people on short‐term missions to Latin America. We draw on our analyses of two sets of interviews with 22 young volunteers, 14 of whom also completed a diary about their experiences, supplemented by four focus groups. Our analysis points to the ways in which the spatial emphasis of geographical engagements with youth transitions can be well informed through considerations of religion; a key challenge being how young volunteers renegotiate their sense of religious self on returning ‘back home’. In addition, although our participants displayed some self‐reflexivity about the social construction of age, they did not necessarily exhibit an understanding of the power underpinning their encounters with others. Finally, our findings open up possibilities for appreciating the diversity of volunteering experiences and the role that volunteer organisations have in shaping the expectations and aspirations of those who participate in their programmes.
