"My life has been blessed: years of good work,
a wonderful family, good friends.
Yet in my heart there is a desire to do
something more with my life..."


The Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) provides men and women, aged 50 and greater, opportunities to serve others – to address social injustice – and to transform lives.  IVC matches the talents of capable Volunteers with the greatest social needs of our time. 

IVC works in partnership with hundreds of community partner organizations.  These nonprofit organizations provide Ignatian Volunteers with substantive work to serve individuals who have slipped through this country’s safety net.  And hundreds of community organizations are on waiting lists to get an Ignatian Volunteer.

Volunteers are supported in their Christian faith by IVC’s unique spiritual reflection program. Through their caring service and the relationships they build, Volunteers are creating a more just society.
