Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC)

Each year JVC offers about 500 men and women the opportunity to work full time for justice and peace by serving the poor directly and working for structural change. The challenge to volunteers is to integrate Christian faith by working and living among the poor, living modestly in a cooperative household with other volunteers, examining the causes of social injustice. Applicants must have a Christian motivation, be 21 years or older, have a college degree or applicable work experience and be without dependents.
