Information Sessions for 2025
Semi-Retired? Retired? IVC May Be For You!
The Ignatian Volunteer Corps pairs men and women 50 years and older with non-profit agencies seeking to build service capacity. IVC service corps members commit to:
- serving 15-16 hours a week at a partner agency from September to June;
- growing deeper in their faith by reflecting and praying in the Ignatian tradition; and
- meeting monthly with other IVC service corps members and a spiritual reflector.
IVC service corps members serve as tutors, employment counselors, food pantry volunteers, companions to the elderly, and more!
