Mission Statement
Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC) Northwest recruits, places, and supports full-time Jesuit Volunteers (JVs) for a year or more of service in 107 different schools, social service, community health, environmental, and public agencies throughout the Northwest. Each year, JVs serve over 150,000 marginalized people, including individuals who are homeless, adults with mental disabilities, women fleeing abuse, at-risk youth, and people who are unemployed, uninsured, marginalized, and disenfranchised. During their year of service, JVs focus on the four core values of community, spirituality, simple living, and social and ecological justice. JVs live and serve in 21 local communities in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.
About This Cause
Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest engages women and men in a transforming experience of full-time volunteer service. Jesuit Volunteers serve for a year or more in solidarity with persons living on the margins of society and with vulnerable places in the Pacific Northwest. Rooted for over fifty years in the Jesuit Catholic tradition emphasizing spiritual openness and depth, Jesuit Volunteers in the Northwest examine and act on the causes of social and environmental injustice to promote peace and structural change. Jesuit Volunteers live in communities that commit to simple living embodying a healing and sustainable presence on the Earth.
