Ignatian Volunteer Corps

The Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) partners with nonprofit organizations dedicated to serving those on the margins of society. The IVC engages volunteers over 50 to apply their knowledge, skills, and experience to building the capacity of nonprofits. Volunteers commit to one or two days of service per week over the course of ten months. Not only does IVC provide training and support to its service corps members, it fosters community-building among volunteers and creates opportunities for spiritual reflection. The IVC is a natural extension of careers spent contributing to the Jesuit mission and ministry.

IVC chapters across the country are led by regional directors, who identify partner agencies, determine the needs to be met, and facilitate the match between volunteers and partners.
