Preparing for an Interview
The JVC screening and placement process is one of mutual discernment and reflection. The JVC staff engages with each applicant in a dialogue meant to determine whether the applicant is prepared for a commitment to a year of structured community living and the challenge of working at one of JVC's job placement sites.
All potential Jesuit Volunteers are encouraged to read and familiarize themselves with JVC's four values and review a sample of the Domestic JV Handbook.*
*Note this is a sample of the Domestic JV Handbook, provided by the Baltimore Program Office. Each is personalized for the year and program office with which the JV is serving. Once accepted into the program, JVs will receive a handbook for the relevant region. The dates and locations are personalized, but the general information is consistent across the country.
