A recruiter from the Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC) came to talk to a group of students. Emma Fabian, the east coast recruiter, came to talk about post-graduate volunteer opportunities on Thursday, Jan. 26. JVC offers two programs: the International Program, which is a two year commitment, and the Domestic Program, which is a one year commitment.
JVC is committed to opportunities in social justice. Volunteers work with those who are homeless, refugees, immigrants, and convicts along with many other groups. Fabian said it is about working with different people in need and working together. JVC has four core values: social justice, simple living, community, and spirituality.
JVC has many locations around the U.S. including: Philadelphia, PA, Washington, D.C., and Syracuse, NY. They also have sights in six other countries including Belize, Chile, and Micronesia.
In order to register, you must be at least 21 years of age and must be a college graduate. Most JVC volunteers are just graduated from college, but there is no age limit to this opportunity. Fabian said volunteers can come from any background and still have a good experience with JVC.
