VINCENTION VOLUNTEERS OF CINCINNATI
St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati has an exciting year of service program called Vincentian Volunteers of Cincinnati (VVC). The program empowers young adults to become community leaders who live their faith by directly serving their neighbors in need. As a VVC member, you will be a full-time volunteer at St. Vincent de Paul’s Outreach Center in Cincinnati and live in an intentional community with other VVC members for 11 months.
During your time as a Vincentian Volunteer of Cincinnati you will learn through new experiences. You will work one-on-one with people who are experiencing poverty and gain a new understanding of your roll in the community, issues of justice and poverty, and how our faith calls us to respond.
Through the Vincentian Volunteers of Cincinnati program, young adults have the opportunity to inspire others by living their faith, growing in friendship by making lasting connections, and serving in solidarity by encountering their neighbors in need and the challenges they face. Other program benefits include:
• Financial education reward ($5,550) upon completion of service
• Room and Board with other VVC Members
• Monthly personal and phone stipends
• Health Insurance
• Personal and Spiritual growth
• Professional development and Career exploration
• Assistance in seeking Loan Deferment
I welcome a conversation with you about the program. I am happy answer any questions that you might have and to talk more in-depth about the different volunteer roles that are available, based on your personal strengths and interests. You can also gather more information in the attached documents or on our Web site and blog. My full contact information is below, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Vincentian Mission Corps.
The Vincentian Service Corps has three core values: service, prayer and community. Sponsored by the Daughters of Charity, our program is founded on Christian Gospel values as seen and lived in the lives of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac. We seek young adults ages 20 - 35 who are open to using their gifts to serve persons who are marginalized and living in poverty in St. Louis, while living simply, sharing in community, and growing as a people of prayer and faith. Our current volunteers serve the homeless, school children, the elderly and disabled, and new mothers, and we try to match prospective volunteers in locations for the best use of their talent. The VMC community also takes part in three retreat weekends each year, as well as other spiritual formation and fun. Thank you for listening to God’s call and considering a year of service!
