The Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) exists to address the greatest social needs of U.S. cities with the experience and skills of mature adults. Ignatian Volunteers, men and women age 50 and older, donate 600 hours of service a year and are supported and sustained by IVC’s unique spiritual reflection program. == History ==
In response to both the growing retired and semi-retired community in the U.S. and the desire of mature adults to express their faith in the light of Vatican II, Jim Conroy S.J. and Charlie Costello S.J. launched Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC). IVC began in September 1995 with eleven Ignatian Volunteers in three cities (Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C.). Ignatian Volunteers began by serving children and adults in need and reflecting together on their service experiences. Today, IVC has almost 300 volunteers working in 15 regions across the country. The organization relies on a network of Regional Directors and Regional Councils, led by an Executive Director and a national Board of Directors. The IVC national office is located in Baltimore, Maryland. In 2002, Jim Conroy stepped down from the Executive director position in order to continue his Jesuit mission of service elsewhere. He still maintains contact with IVC and serves on the Board of Directors. On October 29, 2004, Charlie Costello died from ill health.
