  • Fr. Jack Morris, SJ Memorial Award JV Stories of Impact Annual Report
    A year of service. A world of difference. FALL 2014 The Newsletter of Focus Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest Sneak Peek JV Stories of Impact Annual Report Call for Nominations: Fr. Jack Morris, SJ Memorial Award 2 FALL 2014 Volume 59, Number 1 WHAT A DiffEREncE WE arE maKinG! "What's your impact*?" is the theme of this Jesuit Volunteer (JV) year. The asterisk adds: Show Up, Listen, Act, Reflect, Repeat. The theme represents a strong Ignatian tradition of "praxis," acted upon reflection, reflected upon action. We are asking the JVs to consider the effects of their year of service in both how they make an impact and how they are impacted. This edition of Focus will highlight some of the significant ways JVs and JV EnCorps members are making a difference for those with whom they serve. Our volunteers are important change-makers in the lives of those who experience marginaliza- Jeanne Haster tion and suffering. They are helping to build critical infrastructure and resources to increase the capacity of our partner agencies. They are engaging at-risk students and increasing academic performance. They are providing health care for those who otherwise would not be treated. And perhaps most significantly, our volunteers are creating social capital among the people they serve, instilling self-worth, dignity, care, concern, trust, empathy, and a sense of connection. Former JVs carry our four values of community, simple living, social and ecological justice, and spirituality in their hearts and are changing the world in all manner of ways. As health professionals, nonprofit leaders, public servants in government leader- ship and service, teachers and education administrators, religious leaders, environmental scientists and specialists, and in count- less other professions.

  • Final Jesuit Letterhead 3.23.09
    Jesuit Conference 1016 16 th Street, NW, #400 202.462.0400 v The Society of Jesus Washington, DC 202.328.9212 f in the United States 20036 www.Jesuits.org May 13, 2013 Honorable Members of Congress United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Member of Congress: We commend you as you once more take up the task of effecting comprehensive immigration reform. The Society of Jesus (“Jesuits”) sponsors a broad array of ministries in education, pastoral care and social service throughout the country. In these ministries, our members and lay colleagues, professors and students, partners and parishioners regularly witness the tragic consequences of our current immigration system. We reiterate the call of the Catholic Bishops of the United States for immediate action on comprehensive immigration reform based on the following principles: • A path to citizenship that ensures that all undocumented immigrants have access to full rights • A legal employment structure that protects both migrants and United States workers • Expedited family reunification and an end to policies and practices that exacerbate family separation • Due process protections, and accountable and humane enforcement of our immigration laws • Economic assistance to and fair competition with developing countries These principles, which we outlined in detail for you in our 2011 letter, provide the framework for a comprehensive immigration reform package that is fair, just and humane. It is our sincere belief that these principles provide a blueprint for updating our nation’s immigration system in a way that promotes the common good, protects national security, respects human rights, invigorates economic growth, and acknowledges our heritage as a nation of immigrants.

  • Fy 2019/20 Annual Report 2
    FY 2019/20 ANNUAL REPORT 2 MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP Dear JVC Community Member, AST SPRING, THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC upended all of our lives changing the way we communicate and interact with each other. JVC was challenged to be agile in a time of great uncertainty. Our first priority was the safety and well-being of our JVs and staff. Staff and leadership L thoughtfully evaluated risks and worked tirelessly with our partners to bring our international volunteers home. We pivoted to a virtual environment for orientation and formation retreats, our placement agencies accommodated COVID-19 in their work/service arrangements, we downsized our office footprint and successfully applied for the relief funding provided by the CARE act to retain staff. The year was spent testing our agility and creativity. Through all of this, young people continued to apply to be of service! JVC had a waiting list of volunteers for the first time in close to a decade and 200+ volunteers committed to demonstrate their faith in action. With the restructuring of our team over the past few years, our hiring process prioritized skills and experience over physical location. This has built a strong team while increasing the capacity for remote work across time zones. Our programming shifted to a hybrid-model creating virtual spaces and new ways of JVs relating to each other. We welcomed a new slate of members to the JVC Board of Directors via Zoom and their guidance helped us navigate some challenging situations. JVC staff and Board confronted the question of “how we run JVC in this COVID-19 environment?” Our Recruiting team attended virtual career fairs and conducted zoom campus visits to create a personalized approach to accompanying prospective JVs.

  • Number 7 Social Justice Attitudes and Religious Commitment Among Participants in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps
    Number 7 Social Justice Attitudes and Religious Commitment among Participants in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate Georgetown University Washington, D.C. Social Justice Attitudes and Religious Commitment among Participants in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps January 2006 Paul M. Perl, Ph.D. 1 Collection of the data used in this paper was funded in part by a Jacquet award from the Religious Research Association. I thank James Cavendish, Mark Chaves, and Kevin Christiano for very helpful comments in planning the survey and constructing questionnaires. I received wonderful cooperation from JVC administrators in conducting the survey. Kate Haser, in particular, gave me feedback on preliminary drafts of the questionnaires and provided excellent ideas for research questions. Carol Gabrielli shared information about the early history of the JVC. Sarah Dakin and Michael Davern provided valuable advice on statistical methodology. All errors are my own. © CARA, January 2006, Working Paper 7 CARA was founded by Catholic leaders in 1964 to put social science research tools at the service of the Catholic Church in the United States. For information on CARA and its mission of research, analysis, and planning, contact: Mary E. Bendyna, RSM Executive Director Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate Georgetown University Washington, DC 20057-1203 CARA.georgetown.edu 2 INTRODUCTION To what extent can religious groups succeed in simultaneously promoting religious commitment and social justice activism among their members? A challenge is that mainstream ideologies that support social justice and social service volunteerism are predominately secular. For example, in the general population, belief in the responsibility of people to volunteer to help others is a significant predictor of volunteering in secular nonprofit organizations but not in religious organizations (Sundeen 1992: 280).
