Lutheran Volunteer Corps

The Lutheran Volunteer Corps is a national volunteer service program that was founded in 1979 by Luther Place Memorial Church in Washington, D.C. Each year, LVC places around 140 volunteers in thirteen different cities in the US to work for social justice with various nonprofit organizations.
== History ==
Recognizing the intense need for volunteers in the 1970s and inspired by many other service organizations such as the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, Pastor John Steinbruck asked in 1976 why a Lutheran volunteer organization was not in place. Luther Place had been gaining momentum and addressing social justice issues through several outreach programs in the 1970s. In 1973, John and Erna Steinbruck co-founded N Street Village, a continuum of care for homeless women. The idea of creating the Lutheran Volunteer Corps was well received by the congregation of Luther Place as a method of further addressing the apparent needs in the surrounding community as well as expanding to a national influence. By the early 1980s, LVC had set up houses of volunteers in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Maryland, and Wilmington, Delaware. As of 2013, 137 volunteers are in the following cities: Washington, D.C.; Baltimore, Maryland; Wilmington, Delaware; Minneapolis, Minnesota; St. Paul, Minnesota; Omaha, Nebraska, Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; Tacoma, Washington; Seattle, Washington; Oakland, California; San Francisco, California; and Berkeley, California.
The organization has considered new placement cities for volunteers, and more houses in some cities, to meet growing demand for volunteer positions.
LVC's National Office is located in Luther Place Memorial Church in Washington, D.C. The National Board of Directors is composed of 15 representatives from the varied placement cities.
