Overview & More informations

Jesuit Volunteers (JV) is a Catholic lay organization that offers opportunities for young people to serve in volunteer programs that provide various forms of service, including working with refugees, the homeless, and people with disabilities. JV also offers programs that focus on environmental justice, social justice, and community organizing. JV is a member of the International Jesuit Volunteers network, which has over 2,000 volunteers in more than 80 countries.

JV was founded in 1956 by Father Pedro Arrupe, the Superior General of the Society of Jesus. Arrupe believed that young people could play a vital role in the Church's mission of serving the poor and marginalized. JV's first program was in the United States, and it has since expanded to include programs in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.

JV's programs are typically one year in length, and they offer volunteers the opportunity to live and work in communities that are different from their own. Volunteers are given the opportunity to learn about new cultures, develop new skills, and grow in their faith. JV also provides volunteers with ongoing support and training.

JV's programs are open to young people from all backgrounds and religions. JV does not require volunteers to be Catholic, but they do ask that volunteers be open to exploring the Catholic faith. JV's programs are also open to people of all ages, but the majority of volunteers are between the ages of 18 and 25.

JV is a well-respected organization that has a long history of serving the poor and marginalized. JV's programs offer volunteers the opportunity to make a difference in the world and to grow in their faith.
