For those students who are considering a year of volunteer service after graduation, make an appointment to meet with Irene King (610-529-5177) (irene.king@villanova.edu), Director for Center of Service and Social Justice in Campus Ministry. Irene is a representative for Catholic Volunteer Network and has information on hundreds of volunteer service agencies that place volunteers throughout the United States and overseas. Most volunteers receive room and board, stipend, and health insurance. Americorps Education Grants ($5000+) are frequently available to offset college loans or graduate school tuition.
You can begin your search for a post graduate volunteer position at the Catholic Volunteer Network website -- then schedule a meeting with Irene to explore the opportunities further. Check out their website: https://catholicvolunteernetwork.org/
Irene's office is located on the first floor of the Campus Ministry office, room 103 in St. Rita's Hall.
