CAREERS

For over 40 years, the Jesuit Volunteer Corps has worked to build a more just and hopeful world by placing young leaders in vital service with poor and marginalized communities. This is no small task. Each year, we recruit and support over 200 volunteers, coordinate with over 150 partner agencies, and provide meaningful engagement to over 10,000 alumni and donors.  

 

We rely on passionate and creative professionals to further this mission. Many of our employees are former Jesuit Volunteers, while others are drawn to us as a justice organization at the front lines of social change. Our full-time employees work out of one of our offices in Baltimore, Detroit, and Santa Clara (CA), while our part-time volunteer support staff lives and works in cities where we place volunteers.
