Dear NDMV Community,
As we close out another powerful year of service, we do so with deep gratitude and admiration for the more than 300 individuals who served through Notre Dame Mission Volunteers this year. The stories highlighted in this newsletter—along with countless others of challenge, growth, and impact—are not simply individual experiences. They are part of a shared narrative: one rooted in accompaniment, justice, and the belief that transformation happens in relationship.
To our members: thank you for the courageous, compassionate, and consistent service you offered this year. Together, you
-
Supported over 19,700 children through early childhood and K–12 academic programs
-
Helped more than 3,300 adults take meaningful steps toward employment
-
Provided over 370,000 pounds of food and served nearly 69,000 meals in communities across the country
To our site partners, staff, alumni, and supporters: thank you for your steadfast collaboration, encouragement, and belief in this mission—especially in a time of transition.
This work happens because of you—and it continues because of you.
As many of you know, this is a time of transition for NDMV. While we hold the reality of change, we also hold profound celebration for what has been. This year reminded us again and again that unity through community is more than a theme—it’s the thread that binds our mission, our people, and our future.
We invite you to read on, reflect with us, and continue walking with us as the next chapter unfolds—one that moves us into our 35th year of service, of stories, and of goodness in action.
With gratitude,
