MISSION STATEMENT
The Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) provides men and women age 50 and over the opportunity to serve the needs of people who are poor, to work for a more just society, and to grow deeper in Christian faith by reflecting and praying in the Ignatian tradition.
[Ignatian Volunteer Corps began as the Ignatian Lay Volunteer Corps and changed its name at the beginning of 2006].
Volunteers commit to the equivalent of 2 days of direct service to the materially poor, to meet monthly with other volunteers to reflect on their experience, and to participate in two annual retreats.
