About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Religion / Faith-Based
Civil Rights / Social Justice
Mission: 

The Jesuit Volunteer Corps, through solidarity and service with local communities, fosters the formation of young people dedicated to a faith that promotes justice.

Programs: 

Jesuit Volunteers perform vital service for folks in need across 19 communities and over 100 service agencies at the front lines of social justice rely on JVs to fulfill their missions.

Why Work For Us?: 

For more than 60 years, the Jesuit Volunteer Corps has worked to build a more just and hopeful world by placing young leaders in solidarity and service with marginalized communities. This is no small task. Each year, we recruit and support more than 200 volunteers, coordinate with more than 150 partner agencies, and provide meaningful engagement to more than 10,000 alumni and donors.  

We rely on passionate and creative professionals to further this mission. Many of our employees are former Jesuit Volunteers, while others are drawn to us as a justice organization at the front lines of social change. Our team is distributed across several states, and we also have some full-time employees who work out of our office in Baltimore. A handful of staff are part-time volunteer support staff and they live and work in cities where we place volunteers.  

We pray together twice a week and gather monthly to discuss our individual and departmental Anti-racism goals.

As an organization committed to advancing racial equity and inclusion, the Jesuit Volunteer Corps encourages applications from candidates of all ages, races, classes, gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, languages, and physical abilities.

Founded:

ABOUT MICHIGAN COLLEGE ACCESS NETWORK

MCAN is an equity focused organization and values having broad, diverse representation and inclusivity on our team. This is critical to provide perspectives and lived experiences to help guide our work to have the greatest impact. We especially encourage people of color and first generation college graduates to apply.

Since our founding a decade ago, Michigan College Access Network has known that college changes everything — and perhaps even more critical to our mission is the belief that college is for everyone. 

We do what it takes to provide students in Michigan with a brighter long-term future, through college access and postsecondary certificate and degree attainment: doing the research, talking to agents of change, connecting resources, being a changemaker.

Why? By encouraging Michigan residents to earn postsecondary certificates and degrees, we not only help them earn more and promote their well-being — we also strengthen Michigan's talent pool, retain and attract businesses to the state and stimulate Michigan's economy in the process.

Through college access, we are also able to promote equity in our state. We work to ensure that every student in Michigan has the opportunity to attend college — especially low-income students, first-generation college-going students and students of color.

 

VISION AND VALUES

 

College is postsecondary education. 

We use the term college to refer to attainment of education beyond high school, including postsecondary certificates and academic degrees.

College is a necessity.
Postsecondary attainment dramatically increases an individual’s economic independence in a knowledge-based economy.

College is for everyone.
We work toward changing the systems that perpetuate inequities in postsecondary attainment.

College is a public good.
Postsecondary attainment is critical to a just and equitable society, strong economy, thriving democracy, and healthy communities.
