Becoming an Ignatian Volunteer

Hear from our volunteers about serving with IVC

For Those Who Answer the Call

There are three areas of significant commitment made by Ignatian Volunteers:

• Serving 8 or 16 hrs per week at a local nonprofit agency serving the poor or the environment from Sep-Jun
• Deepening your walk with God through reading, group spirituality and one-on-one spiritual reflection
• Sharing in fellowship with the volunteer community in meals, monthly meetings, retreats and socials

The Benefits

For all that is given, IVC’ s support program aims to help our volunteers find God in their service experience and fellowship with each other, through gospel values and the spiritual wisdom of St Ignatius of Loyola.

• Help to draw closer to Christ and more clearly sense God in others, and the ways God calls one to use their skills and experience.
• Formation in Ignatian spirituality and poverty awareness through readings, discussions, featured speakers and retreat leaders.
• Getting connected to the agency most in need of one’s personal gifts for an impactful service experience.
• Support/friendship in two communities – where one serves and within the IVC corps.
