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.
