Jesuit Volunteer Corps

ACTIVITIES: Jesuit Volunteers work in education, advocacy, direct service, and community service. They reside in the same places as those they serve: people who are low-wage earners, homeless, unemployed, refugees, diagnosed with AIDS, elderly, street youth, former gang members, abused, mentally ill, developmentally disabled, and others who strive to find justice in their lives. Almost 300 schools, nonprofit agencies, and grassroots organizations across the world count on JVs to provide essential services.
