In partnership with the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, members of Mercy Volunteer Corps (MVC) enter into relationship with people who are economically poor and marginalized. In a spirit of mutuality, volunteers cultivate mercy and justice in the world by embracing compassionate service, social justice, spirituality, and a simple lifestyle in community.
Mercy Volunteer Corps promotes social change by placing and supporting volunteers for one year of service with people who are economically poor and socially marginalized in the United States and South America. Mercy Volunteers work in education, healthcare, and social services while living together in community and growing spiritually. Volunteers are provided housing, transportation, health insurance, and a monthly stipend. Throughout the service year, volunteers have multiple opportunities for personal and professional growth.
