Each year, Lutheran Volunteer Corps matches approximately 50 full time Volunteers with social justice non-profit organizations in our program cities across the U.S. The listing below provides a SAMPLE list of placement positions for the 2020 program year. About 80% of LVC partner organizations re-apply each year; and in addition, we will have new positions that are not yet listed.
LVC Applicants get to see the list of available positions as part of the application and matching process, including full position descriptions.
To have the widest choice of positions, apply early. There are significantly fewer positions available as we move though the admissions season, which is February through July.
