Lutheran Volunteer Corps

Building Community, Living Simply and Sustainably, Working for Justice

LVC places recent volunteers in full-time service positions at social-justice organizations across the United States for one or two years. Service-year Volunteers are encouraged to explore LVC’s core principles: living simply and sustainably in intentional community while serving the cause of peace with justice.  LVC places emphasis on the injustice of racism, oppression, and privilege in its leadership development curriculum; and Volunteers develop broad leadership skills while being placed with food justice, legal aid, environment, housing, immigration, education, health care, and other missions.
