Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC) Northwest is a nonprofit organization that places volunteers to address community needs in the Northwest, grounding their service in values aligned with the Jesuit Catholic tradition. The program places individuals to work with partner agencies across Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington, focusing on serving people who are marginalized and protecting fragile ecosystems, while promoting dignity, justice, and empowerment in local communities. Based in Milwaukie, Oregon, the organization emphasizes four core values—community, simple living, social and ecological justice, and spirituality/reflection—as guiding principles for its year-long service opportunities. Founded to respond to regional needs, JVC Northwest operates within the nonprofit sector and supports volunteers who contribute directly to community well-being and systemic change. A recent development noted in the organization’s communications is the launch of JV Flex, a pilot program introduced to expand service options during the 2021–2022 service year.
