Ignatian Volunteer Corps began in Denver, Colorado in 2017. We've steadily grown, serving more and more people and agencies in the greater Denver area. We now have 25 IVC members and 17 partner agencies. Help this momentum continue by supporting IVC today!
"I saw so many blessings in this organization and staff that focuses on supporting teens and their education (which is the gateway to reducing poverty). And I saw God's blessings on the scholars as they worked through so many obstacles to pursue their education with goal of attending college." IVC Denver Volunteer
"It has been an absolute pleasure working with our IVC service member. I am so grateful to IVC for providing this incredible service to nonprofits in Denver. We would never be able to afford someone like Ann if we had to pay what she is truly worth." Brad Reubendale, Executive Director, SAME café, Denver, CO
The Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) provides mature men and women the opportunity to serve the needs of people who are poor, to work for a more just society, and to grow deeper in faith by reflecting and praying in the Ignatian tradition.
In September 1995, two Jesuit priests, Jim Conroy, S.J. and Charlie Costello, S.J., gathered a small group of retired men and women to form the Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC), an organization that combines service to the poor with a unique process of spiritual reflection. From this inaugural meeting of two Jesuit directors and eleven lay volunteers, IVC has grown to encompass several Regional chapters across the country with over five hundred volunteers. Headquartered in Baltimore, MD, IVC is presently served by a Board of Directors and is administered by a National Staff, Regional Directors, and Spiritual Reflectors.
