Jesuit Volunteers engage in one or more years of full-time service with local organizations working for justice, while living together in intentional community. Woven into the Jesuit Volunteer experience are retreats and other formation opportunities rooted in Ignatian spirituality and social justice.

Jesuit Volunteers can serve with either JVC or JVC Northwest. While separate organizations, both JVC and JVC Northwest share a common history, and volunteers may apply to both programs through a single application.
