VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
The PLACE Corps – Partners in Los Angeles Catholic Education – is LMU’s nationally recognized Catholic teacher service corps. The two-year program combines coursework at LMU for a debt-free master’s degree and credential, with service in an under-resourced elementary or high school in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. PLACE Corps members live with one another in spiritually-based communities throughout Los Angeles.
Ideal PLACE Corps candidates have a heart for service, a desire to continue their faith journey, and a passion for working with children and those in under-served communities. The PLACE Corps accepts all majors; no formal coursework in education is needed to apply.
Our website – www.lmu.edu/education/place - is also a great resource for learning more about our program.

The Vincentian Service Corps Central is a year-long volunteer program where young adults ages 20 to 35 come together, live in community, eat and pray together, and serve persons who are poor in the St. Louis area. Currently the VSC Community is serving the homeless, small children in schools, the elderly, and new mothers. There are many opportunities in St. Louis for service, and we do try to match prospective volunteers with where their talents can best be used. The community also takes part in four retreat weekends a year, as well as formation and other spiritual events throughout the year. Thanks for considering giving a year if service. Gateway Vincentian Volunteers Contacts: Jim and Geri Ryan/888-771-7270 or 314-771-1474/gatevol@aol.com The Gateway Vincentian Volunteers is a yearlong service ministry for young adults between the ages of 21 to 30 years old. Our volunteers (total of seven) live in community and work in various ministries in St. Louis City that serve people living in poverty. Participants share an apartment building with several Vincentian priests and brothers. Our mission is to provide young adults with an experience of living in community and working with the poor in the spirit of St. Vincent De Paul, whose life work was dedicated to serving the poor and needy. It is our hope that by working, praying, and living in the spirit of Vincent, these young adults will develop a consuming commitment to improving the lives of the poor and marginalized in our society.
