How Our Volunteers Can Help You

Jesuit Volunteers (JVs) are energetic, committed and motivated individuals with fresh perspectives, bringing a strong educational background and good will to the agencies they serve. For one year, JVs work full-time for social justice in agencies serving people who are marginalized in our society, including those who experience poverty, hunger, disabilities and abuse. Volunteers also serve in advocacy with social and environmental justice organizations throughout the Northwest. In addition to the work they do, volunteers live in a faith-centered community with other JVs, and focus on a simple lifestyle.

Each year, Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest recruits, screens, places and supports nearly 100 volunteers serving full-time in more than 70 not-for-profit social service organizations in 13 local communities in Alaska, Montana, Oregon and Washington.
