Five Ways a Year of Service Will Change Your Life

Personal growth 
Volunteering means being flexible and taking on tasks you never expected. These experiences will highlight your hidden talents and may even bring out interests you never knew you had! 

Service with support 
Serving a community in great need  can take its toll on a volunteer's emotional state. H aving CVIF guide you through the stages of a service year through quarterly retreats is vital to getting the most out of your experience.

Professional experience
Often, CVs are placed with organizations that rely heavily on them throughout the year. This gives the volunteer an opportunity to shine in their areas of expertise and brush up on skills they can promote on their resume when the year is over.

Lifelong connections
Volunteers have an opportunity to bond with each other through monthly activities and are given opportunities to network during quarterly retreats. Meeting with other like-minded individuals in this embracing environment allows CVs to build their professional network and make lifelong friendships along the way.

Happiness

Nothing feels better than knowing your presence has made a difference in a community. All of our past volunteers would agree that during their year of service they were blessed in more ways than they ever expected. 
CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION

Join us as we congratulate our volunteers on the many accomplishments and successes they have had recently!



Current volunteers Julia Morgan and Dominique Griffin have been accepted to  participate in a post-service program hosted by the University of Notre Dame Mendoza College of Business in collaboration with The Notre Dame Center for Social Concerns. In August, they will explore the skills they've developed during their service year, learn to translate those skills into the perfect resume, and discover the personal-professional branding opportunities they've created during their time with Catholic Volunteers in Florida. We are so proud of our volunteers as they prepare for the next stage of their lives and look forward to celebrating their continued success.

Alex Diaz and Cory Casanova recently celebrated their first year of marriage by renewing their vows surrounded by their new community of family and friends in the small mountain village of La Cueva. The mass was celebrated by Father Fred Ruse who has been a mentor for them during their service year in the Dominican Republic.
