New Leadership Paving a Brighter Path for LVC: Jean Ahwesh

Dear Valued Alumni, Placement Partners, Generous Supporters, and Fellows, I write to you today with profound hope and excitement as I step into my role as the Interim Executive Director of the Lutheran Volunteer Corps (LVC). It is a privilege to join this esteemed organization, and I am eager to embark on this journey of collective impact with every one of you.

LVC17 National Orientation: Upholding Commitment to Our Internal Work for the Sake of Community

At the beginning of August, 86 volunteers, 10 staff, and 11 board members gathered in Chicago at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago for five days of celebration and challenges at our annual Nation Orientation. The theme of National Orientation this year was “Upholding Commitment to Our Internal Work for the Sake of Community.” The five day stay in Chicago was filled with presentations and trainings for the Volunteers – from conflict resolution training and anti-racism training to self-care conversations and preparation for journey conversations – each hour was carefully planned to prepare and challenge Volunteers before their LVC year began.     TheRead More →

Our Spring Retreat was one for the record books for SO many reasons... but especially because we closed out the weekend with a discussion with LVC alum, Mary Merkley, and her husband, Senator Jeff Merkley. 🌟Ms. Merkley spoke about the future of our country and how the LVC helped shape her vision of a kinder, more equitable community for every person in the U.S.. 💚We are grateful to the Merkleys for their participation and to our Board member, John Carr, for arranging the discussion. Special thanks also go to Andrew McIlroy and Brian Schuh for hosting our closing dinner. 🍽️ ... See MoreSee Less

Low cost of living? ✅High population of young adults? ✅Safe haven for the LGBTQIA+ community? ✅Friendly people and community culture? ✅Thrifts, museums, festivals, and free public concerts? ✅We'd say "we told you so" when it comes to Pittsburgh, but honestly? The best way to learn about this local culture is to experience it yourself!We are still accepting applications for our NEW Pittsburgh Placements! We at LVC are honored to be partnered with The Forbes Funds for this exciting expansion!We’ve got three professional sports teams to root for. A strong economy fueled by robotics. And a cultural scene that deserves a standing ovation.But what makes Pittsburgh really special is that you can actually afford to live here, according to a marketing firm that ranks cities’ livability.Livability.com has named the Steel City one of its Top 100 Best Places to live in 2025 — a city where you can buy a home, build a career and have enough disposable income left over to splurge on game tickets, craft beer and pierogis.Read more: www.post-gazette.com/business/development/2025/04/25/pittsburgh-best-cities-to-live/stories/20250... ...
