Story
During my senior year of college as a computer science major I found myself discerning what I wanted to do after graduation. I found that I had a strong desire to do good in, and for, the communities around me. I explored several volunteer agencies and was immediately draw to the four values of spirituality, community, simple living, and social justice of the Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC). I am now headed to San Francisco to work with the underserved community and to work on my own spirituality. I hope you will want to support me and the goals of JVC in bettering the world and helping those who need it.
Each year, hundreds of young people make the decision to commit to a year or two of service with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. Jesuit Volunteers (JVs) engage in vital service within communities around the country. Send Me to Serve (SMTS) has two primary functions: (1) To help incoming Jesuit Volunteers and their friends and families to connect more deeply with the mission of JVC; and (2) To raise funds in support of JVC, which will help us continue to partner with over 200 non-profit agencies and provide vital service to tens of thousands of people every year.
