Aloha JV Community is raising money for Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest
Story
Hello! We are the the Aloha Jesuit Volunteer community. Can you help jumpstart our service year with JVC Northwest? By contributing, you join us in our mission to help make the Pacific Northwest a sustainable region where all are treated justly and equitably. Your gift goes into a communal pool which keeps our partner nonprofit fees low and allows us to place Jesuit Volunteers in these communities for years to come.
Meet our community:

Liz enjoys hiking, hammocking, and reading in her spare time. Fun fact, Liz and her twin sister will be 8 time zones apart this year as her sister will be studying in London.
Josilyn (she/her) was born and raised in Carson, California and after graduating high school, she moved to Washington where she attended Seattle University as a Criminal Justice and Psychology major.

Cara (she/her) grew up in New Jersey and later moved to Boston for college, where she fostered her interests in literature and corporate sustainability while studying Marketing and English at Boston College.

Cara feels most at peace when spending time in nature, and is looking forward to enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest while serving as an Education Specialist at New Avenues for Youth.
