Our Volunteer Corps North American Capuchins sponsor two separate programs which provide ministry opportunities for young men and women interested in serving the church and the poor while living the spirituality of St. Francis of Assisi. These volunteers are placed in various urban ministries, or in other ecclesiastical work and foreign missions, and live in community with other young men and women. They receive room and board, medical insurance, and a small stipend during their year of volunteer ministry.
Some placements are renewable for a second year.
The Capuchin Franciscan Volunteer Program offers men and women the opportunity to work in direct service to the poor while living a simple lifestyle in community with other volunteers. The spirit and spirituality of St. Francis of Assisi are central to this experience of community and service. Papua New Guinea, Central America, Africa. Men and women.
