Meet the '23-24 cohort of JV/AmeriCorps members ready to serve alongside communities throughout the Northwest! Hold these JVs in your hearts as they travel from camp to their locales today. We're excited to share more highlights from Orientation in the coming days!

So far, we've had some wonderful sessions, lots of community-building, personal reflection, and fun—and Orientation is only halfway through! Keep these JVs in your hearts as they step into a year of #ConsciousCommunion

On Monday we will welcome 72 new and returning Jesuit Volunteers who have made the life-changing decision to serve in solidarity alongside communities in the Northwest!

Today is officially the final day of service for the '22-23 service year. Not only that, but it’s also the Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Thank you to all our volunteers who answered the call to live a faith that does justice!

We had a great time at the Seattle former JV happy hour on Sunday. We’re always grateful for the opportunity to build community and learn about the many unique journeys FJVs take on after their service year! #FJVs #JesuitVolunteers #RuinedForLife

Today on #WorldRefugeeDay, we honor people around the globe who have been forced to relocate from their homes and countries due to war, violence, persecution, and other threats. We believe that everyone has a right to seek safety, and to do so with dignity.

Jesuit Volunteers in Alaska, Big Sky, and Cascades regions came together this past weekend for regional retreats. During this time, JVs reflected on their experiences of the past nine months around the core values of JVC Northwest.

This year, Creighton was a top producer of Jesuit Volunteers. Jesuit Volunteers commit to formation though Ignatian spirituality, simple living, intentional community, and social/ecological justice.

Proud of these 2023 grads "willing to go wherever there is greatest need."
