Our team is here to support you at each step of your JVC journey.

Community is at the heart of the JVC experience and that begins when you connect with us to talk about a year of service. We know this is a big step – and you won’t be making it alone!

Support Teams at JVC

Thinking about a year of service?

Whether you’re familiar with our program or new to the idea of a service year, JVC Recruiters are available to talk about your questions, excitement, and nerves.

Opening your application

If JVC seems like it might be a good fit, we encourage you to start an application and connect with the Admissions team. Our process is designed to help you discern if JVC is right for you - so you don’t have to be committed to get started!

Looking ahead to your JVC experience

Once you’ve matched with a city and placement, you’ll meet the Program team, who will be your first point of contact throughout your JV year.

Meeting the wider JVC community

When you arrive in your service location, you'll meet your Local Formation Team and a host of FJVs who are excited to welcome you to your new city and act as a local support network.
