Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest

ACTIVITIES: The service opportunities available through JVC Northwest also differentiate us from other service programs in a few ways: – Cross-cultural opportunities: Our program offers a number of cross-cultural opportunities, so JVs may be serving in Alaskan Native, Native American, or Spanish speaking communities, as well as in urban and rural settings. – Diverse types of service: The types of service JVs engage in ranges from social work, education, health care, legal work, advocacy and community organizing, as well as working with people experiencing mental illness, disabilities, homelessness, and domestic violence. -Diversity of locales: our JVs serve in a wide array of locales, from large urban centers, small cities and towns, and more rural and remote communities, including the Alaskan tundra and Native American reservations.

OVERVIEW: Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest engages women and men in a transforming experience of full-time volunteer service. Jesuit Volunteers serve for a year or more in solidarity with persons living on the margins of society and with vulnerable places in the Pacific Northwest. Our program is rooted in the values of community, spirituality, simple living, and social justice.
