Catholic Volunteer Network | 6930 Carroll Ave. Suite 820 | Takoma Park, MD 20912 301-270-0900 | [email protected]   Letter from the Executive Director Dear Friend, I am thinking of people like you and writing this in June 2020 as the world faces many challenges. I cannot know exactly what is happening around you as you read this. But whatever the situation, this directory can help you respond.

My guess is that more ripple effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are beginning to be understood, and that others will take time to comprehend. I also hope that in moments of openness and creativity, people are focusing on what we can learn; what the hidden opportunities will be; how humanity will be taught in new ways.

I invite you to be part of that. I invite you to breathe and remember your ability to choose and act for good; to trust that God is with you and us; and to listen in new ways to how this time calls to you. I invite you to honor whatever led you to pick up RESPONSE. I hope you will open to where that may lead.

Regardless of what is happening in the world, faith and service are needed. Service is a powerful force that is necessary at all times. It is a gift you can offer all along your journey. CVN members are ready to help you express your gifts. They know how much those will mean to others, and how much you will receive in return.

At this time in our country’s history, commitments to service and justice are especially important. Our nation needs people like you to help it recover and rebuild. You can be part of the solution. You can learn about yourself in ways that enable you to promote change and healing for the rest of your life. Your faith combined with the supports CVN members provide will allow you to transform and be transformed.

CVN’s over 130 programs are committed to service, discernment, and community. In the past three years, they have empowered 50,000 volunteers to serve nearly 3 million people annually. Moreover, CVN understands the relationship between serving others and deepening your understanding of calling, purpose, and meaning. We can help you pursue questions about who you are becoming – and what you offer a world in need.

Full-time, faith-based service is just one step to becoming a more spiritually-grounded leader who will continue promoting positive change in the future. Whatever our progress in recovering from COVID-19, that will still be needed. You can choose at any time to be part of any number of solutions. RESPONSE may help you in this moment.

Breathe, trust, listen. Communities around the world – in whatever state they are now – need you.

With prayers,

Yonce Shelton EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

CATHOLICVOLUNTEERNETWORK.ORG | RESPONSE 2021 7 Right Now By Abigail Reeth

Serving during COVID-19 feels a lot like mindfulness.

“Pencils up!”

At my coworker’s command, the children sitting around the classroom table raised their colored pencils above their heads and waited for the next instruction.

“Now, pass your pencil to the person on your left.”

As the students in our after school program scrambled to determine which direction was to the left, a few kids grumbled at the next colored pencil they received.

My coworker, the children’s therapeutic specialist, held up a silencing hand. “Remember, during mindful coloring, you use whatever color you’re given. You get what you get, and you make the best of it. Right?”

Right. That has been my mantra for the past few weeks: You get what you get, and you make the best of it. At the moment, we’ve got a virus, but we’re making the best of it.

With schools closed for most of the spring semester, the after school program at the homeless shelter where I work has become an “all-day” program brimming with academic and therapeutic activities. And we do the best we can.

We can’t exactly abide by social distancing standards, but we do our best. Our hands are chapped from washing and sanitizing. Our classrooms smell like bleach and disinfectant. Our celebrations after winning a game of dodgeball are now “elbow-bumps” instead of high-fives.

The story behind our 2021 cover photo A DIRECTORY OF FULL-TIME, FAITH-BASED VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES Our cover photo shows the first week of service for the 2017 -2018 Bon Secours Volunteer Ministry community living in Baltimore, MD. BSVM volunteers sign up for a year of service in healthcare, education, and social services within the Bon Secours Mercy Health System. So what are they doing picking up trash? Well, each year, volunteers are asked to take up the daily task of cleaning up their block (in Baltimore, and also in their Richmond location). Through this experience, volunteers get to know their neighbors and the people with whom they the serve. BSVM believes that when a space is treated with dignity, it sends the message that the people who live there have dignity. At its heart, cleaning the block is an act of justice. Here, one volunteer shares about what the RESPONSE2021 experience meant to him:

My time at BSVM has already exposed me to the myriad systemic injustices faced by disadvantaged populations in Richmond, such as economic and healthcare inequality. These problems can be overwhelming for a few people to tackle on their own, but I have tried to focus on the small details like showing compassion MAKE AN IMPACT IN OUR to those I serve with and picking up trash in my neighborhood to help dismantle these CHANGING WORLD barriers one step at a time.

Narrow down your options Now that you’ve considered all your options, it’s time to narrow it down to your top programs. Use this chart to keep track of your interactions with the various programs. The application process typically has a several different stages spread out over a few months, so this chart will also help you ensure you don’t miss any deadlines.
