This August, I am heading to serve in Sacramento, California to help people recovering from mental health struggles and substance abuse issues. 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.
