The Loretto Volunteer Program will be taking a pause at the end of the 2021/2022 program year.
In the fall and winter of 2022, we will take a deep dive to learn, explore and plan a new vision of mission work for Loretto. New visions and options for the Volunteer Program are expected to emerge for consideration in early 2023.
At this time of pause and planning, we are extremely fortunate to be a part of the Sisters INSPIRE grant, through which we are re-imagining alongside three other sisters-led service programs, Catholic Volunteer Network leaders and outside experts in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) best practices and change management. Importantly, with the help of expert consultants, the methodology for discerning the options ahead are community-based, inspired by adrienne maree brown. In her book Emergent Strategy, she writes, “This is collaborative ideation— what are the ideas that will liberate all of us?”
Throughout this exploratory process, we are seeking community input! If you would like to be invited to share your thoughts and ideas, please contact us at lorettovolunteers@lorettocommunity.org.
