Sisters of St. Joseph Volunteer Corps

We invite young adults 21-30 to join us in our life of prayer, community, and service for an eleven month time of volunteer service-September through July.

Volunteers serve at:
Bethany House – a Catholic Worker House of Hospitality sheltering homeless women and their children. This is an excellent opportunity for a woman interested in working with homeless women on issues related to physical & mental health, poverty, post-incarceration, domestic violence, substance abuse, housing and work.

Nativity Preparatory Academy – a Catholic middle school (5th to 8th grade) serving families who fall below the federal poverty line. Students share a diverse ethnic and religious background. More than half of the students are refugees. (www.nativityrochester.org)
Saint Joseph Neighborhood Center – a team of over 250 talented volunteer providers offering comprehensive health care and counseling to individuals and families who lack access health care. (www.sjncenter.org)

Volunteers receive – living allowance of $13,762/year (pre-tax); health insurance coverage; college loan deferments; AmeriCorps Ed Award of $5,920 (pre-tax); optional intentional community living.
