The Ignatian Volunteers Corps (IVC) is a national, Catholic nonprofit service organization that provides men and women aged 50 and over with opportunities to serve the economically challenged and marginalized, grow deeper in their faith, and transform lives. By contributing leadership skills and life experience into service, IVC service corps members strengthen their communities, create a more just society and bring hope to people seeking to overcome marginalization.
Additionally, IVC, at both the national and regional levels, maintains a direct connection to the U.S. Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) and its local social ministry activities.
