Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest responds to local community needs in the Pacific Northwest by placing volunteers who provide value-centered service grounded in the Jesuit Catholic tradition. Honoring the Divine at work in all things, we envision the Northwest as a sustainable region where all live in dignity, are treated justly, and actively contribute to their own empowerment and positive change in their communities.
Jesuit Volunteer (JV) EnCorps, a program of JVC Northwest, engages people 50+ in a rewarding experience of service, community, and spiritual formation. JV EnCorps Members (JVEs) commit to 10 months of part-time service (September – June) in their local communities and to the exploration of JVC Northwest’s core values: community, simple living, social and ecological justice, and spirituality.
