IVC service project agencies are those organizations that are eligible to receive an
IVC volunteer. Suitable service project agencies are those:
whose mission directly serves people who are poor or works to address the issues and structures which impact those who are poor
which provide volunteers the opportunity to "serve faith and promote justice", especially out of the Gospel value of a "preferential option for the poor"
which recognize and respect the dignity of the people they serve
which will value and utilize the skills and the life experience of IVC volunteers and enable them to contribute to the project's mission in responsible and meaningful ways
which will provide the opportunity for IVC volunteers to contribute two days (or the equivalent hours) of service per week
which allow for flexibility in scheduling the
IVC volunteers
which will designate a staff person to assist the volunteer in orientation to the work, support their ongoing needs, and supervise their work
which exercise sufficient precautions for the physical safety of the volunteers
