Why A Year of Service Never Ends

A teacher of mine used to say that the why question is very important because it tells you a lot about yourself. June is a busy month at Lutheran Volunteer Corps (LVC) as staff continue to recruit and prepare for the end of one cohort’s year and beginning of another cohort’s year in a few short months. It’s also a busy season for outgoing Volunteers as they think about finishing up their year and what comes next. Incoming Volunteers are busy with summer activities and for many, but not all, thinking about life after graduation. But, the question of why folks consider doing a serviceRead More →

November News: Welcoming Tait Danielson Castillo

In September, we welcomed LVC Baltimore Alum (1997-1998) Tait Danielson Castillo onto our staff as our Major Gifts Officer.

Volunteers Engage Their Passions: Immigration & Refugee Services

’17-’18 Volunteer Micaela Laurence at her desk at Lutheran Social Services  During National Orientation this year, Volunteers took a moment to write their hopes, fears, questions, and insights onto post-it notes and place them onto the walls of the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. One read, “How do we work for social justice today?” Part of LVC’s answer to this question is to work where one’s passion lies. Because LVC believes that achieving justice requires progress across many issue areas, and that each area needs talented leaders in the future, LVC places passionate Volunteers with amazing nonprofit organizations across a wide range of socialRead More →

Catching Up With Alumni: Peter Spuit and Kaydee Kirk

Kaydee Kirk (’98-’99) and Peter Spuit (’99-’00) are two Lutheran Volunteer Corps alumni who live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Kaydee is a graduate of Augsburg College and lived in Dag Hammarskjold House during her LVC year in Washington, D.C., and Peter is a graduate of Luther College and lived in Imani House during his LVC year in Minneapolis. We caught up with the two of them recently to hear what they’ve been up to and how LVC has continued to impact their lives. Both consider their service year with LVC to be transformational and greatly appreciate the many ways that LVC shaped them. Can you speakRead More →
