The Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) provides men and women, most age 50 or better, opportunities to serve others and transform lives.
 
IVC, in partnership with nonprofit organizations throughout the Baltimore metro area, provides Ignatian Volunteers with substantive work — to serve individuals and families seeking to overcome the challenges of poverty.  The need is great, and we’re here to respond!
 
IVC members are strengthened in their faith by IVC’s unique spiritual reflection program rooted in the Jesuit tradition of Ignatian Spirituality.
   
Sacred Heart parishioners, 50 years of age or better, are encouraged to consider a year-long commitment (September to June) to service and spirituality with the Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC).  There is no shortage of need in the Baltimore region — and all skills, lovingly offered, can be matched to the great work of one of IVC’s over 30 nonprofit partner agencies!  During COVID-19, there are numerous “work from home” options for service.  Volunteers commit to 1 or 2 days of service per week and meet monthly in community — virtually for now — for spiritual reflection in the Ignatian tradition.  Join the IVC Service Corps!  Make a difference in your retirement!

“Zoom-in” for one of IVC’s summer, virtual (Zoom) Information Sessions — on July 30 or August 4.  To register, or for more information, go to www.ivcusa.org/baltimore.
