Congrats to the 2023 Alumni Serving Full-Time This Year!

‌We wish the best for the many 2023 Loyola alumni serving full-time this year! Here is a snap-shot of a few of our fabulous Ramblers headed into service!

 

What is Post-Graduate Volunteer Service?

All of us are called to serve our community throughout our lives. For some of us, committing to a full year or two of service after college is a great way to practice that commitment. Ever heard of Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC)? AmeriCorps? Those -- and many more -- are all post-graduate volunteer programs.

Post-graduate volunteer programs offer people the opportunity to commit an extended period of time to serving communities in need. From a few months to 2 years, you can volunteer your talents to full time! These programs help you give to your community, but they also help you build skills, explore a possible career, gain experience, and deepen your faith.

As we move forward into a difficult economic and social period around the globe, consider full-time service as both a way to build community and a way to build yourself. You can make a real impact on both through meaningful, purposeful, extended service.

Considering Full-time Volunteer Service?

Come talk with a CSA staff member to learn about your options! Everyone in the office has served at least one term of full-time service after finishing undergraduate studies! Email serve@luc.edu for an appointment!

Other Ways to Serve After You Graduate

Heading off to a full-time job or grad school after you graduate?  You can still serve! If you will still be in the Chicagoland area, check out CSA Facebook postings for service opportunities, or check out Take Action.
