Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest : ウィキペディア英語版 | Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest
Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC) Northwest connects people with one or more years of volunteer service that focus on JVC's values of community, spirituality, simple living and social and ecological justice. JVC Northwest provides opportunities for individuals to reach out to persons living on the margins of society and vulnerable places throughout the Pacific Northwest. Jesuit Volunteers live and serve with partner agencies in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. ==History== Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest started in 1956 with several committed volunteers who built and taught in the newly formed Copper Valley School for Alaska Native and non-Native children. Under the sponsorship of the Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), the Jesuit Volunteers expanded out of Alaska in the 1960s. They began living and working with Native American communities throughout the Northwest region, as well as serving in inner city placements in Washington and Oregon and beyond. From its roots in the Northwest, the Jesuit Volunteer Corps has spread throughout the United States and abroad. Over the past 50 years over 12,000 individuals have served as Jesuit Volunteers through JVC and JVC Northwest, with more than 6,000 of those serving in the Northwest. In 2009, five of the six Jesuit Volunteer Corps organizations merged to form JVC to share resources for one common mission. JVC Northwest made a decision to remain an independent region when the East, Midwest, South and Southwest regions, along with Jesuit Volunteers International, made a decision to unite. Both groups continue to collaborate. JVC Northwest states its commitment to providing well-supported volunteers to address the most urgent needs in the Pacific Northwest.
