It also means keeping a conscious eye toward God's presence at work and in community with others. Retreats and workshops bring volunteers together to reflect on their experience and to deepen the vision of faith and justice. The Jesuit Volunteer Corps encourages applications from persons of all races and ethnic origins. Although the JVC is rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition, applicants from other Christian traditions are welcome. Jesuit Volunteers serve throughout the United States and in countries of the developing world.
Regional offices coordinate the placement and support of the volunteers in their local areas.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis through July, with priority given to applications postmarked by March 1st. JVC staff welcome inquiries concerning needs and placements in their region. The Jesuits of the Missouri Province are part of JVC Midwest, including the states of Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
