To learn more read our Frequently Asked Questions . Since 1956 more than 7,000 Jesuit Volunteers have committed themselves to working with the poor. They have put off graduate school and turned down job offers in order to offer alternatives to people who have few options. Today hundreds of grassroots organizations across the country count on Jesuit Volunteers to provide essential services to low-income people and those who live on the margins of our society. Jesuit Volunteers work with the homeless, the unemployed, refugees, people with AIDS, the elderly, street youth, abused women and children, the mentally ill and the developmentally disabled.
Positions are available in teaching, nursing and community service.
Some job placements require specific credentials or licenses, but most JVC jobs can be done by people who have a general education background and a willingness to learn new skills.
