Welp looks like my fears were unfounded. I just got my invite today, I'll be deployed to Ukraine in March to work as a Community Youth Development Volunteer. This is a pretty incredible feeling

I had previously applied in the beginning of 2015 and received a prospective deployment notice to Jordan, but they withdrew all operations from the country following the crisis there and I lost my spot. Needless to say I've spent a lot of time telling people "no I'm not in yet" and "no I haven't received my invite yet" that it's a little hard to believe that that's actually not the case anymore.

I'm heading out Sept. 19 as a TEFL volunteer to Ukraine, so congrats! Good luck with all the paper work, medical clearance, legal etc. You can PM me with any questions if you want, but I still haven't been sent staging info yet.

 The LGL program wasn't removed, it had its status changed in terms of funding. It will continue in Ukraine.
