Jesuit Volunteer Corp Northwest @

Carleton College Notes

Overview

Postgrad full time service program

The Jesuit Volunteer Corp (JVC) originated in the Northwest. JVC Northwest decided to remain a
separate legal entity from JVC so that they can be more involved in their local community. The
thinking was a headquarters in Portland would serve better than a headquarters in DC for the
people of the Northwest.
