We work for justice and act for peace because the gospel urges us.
-"I Am the Way," Loretto's constitution
Loretto Volunteers are young women and men (ages 21-30) who work for a
year in social justice organizations while living a simple, communal
lifestyle with other volunteers.
Loretto Volunteers serve in diverse ministries, both in direct service and advocacy roles. They work in homeless shelters and immigrant legal clinics, in public radio and at the United Nations. (See our full listing here.) Each volunteer is paired with one organization that fits her skills and interests.
Loretto Volunteers live in community with other volunteers, or occasionally with sisters or co-members of Loretto. In group living, volunteers develop meaningful relationships, share spirituality, and deepen their commitment to simple, sustainable living together. We currently have volunteer communities in Washington, DC and St. Louis, MO, as well as one volunteer in New York City.
We are rooted in the creative spirituality of the Loretto Community – an order of Catholic sisters who have worked for justice and peace since their founding in 1812. Though we have grown out of Catholic social justice teaching, we proudly welcome volunteers of any faith. All volunteers must be open to exploring a variety of spiritual practices that reflect the group’s backgrounds and interests.
The Loretto Volunteer Program is a welcoming organization for individuals of all races, classes, abilities, sexual orientations, gender identities and faiths.
The Loretto Volunteer Program is a member of the Catholic Volunteer Network and the CVN/AmeriCorps program - which offers AmeriCorps Education Awards to qualifying volunteers. Check out our Facebook page at Loretto Volunteers.
