Volunteer Opportunities Short-term Volunteer Service For those who are not able to give a full year to volunteer with our program, you have the opportunity to complete a shorter amount of service for six months, four months, or a summer commitment. Short-term volunteers still commit to the four values of the program and may even live in community with year-long volunteers. Some benefits such as health insurance, and the full Americorps education award may not be available to short-term volunteers. Contact the MFVP office for more information. Alternative Spring Break We currently host week-long alternative spring break experiences in Pittsburgh. Alternative spring break students stay for the week on the Sisters of St. Francis Motherhouse campus. They are welcome to eat meals with our sisters in the main dining room. Work assignments are planned by the MFVP staff and include service at local non-profit agencies. They may include work in the following areas: elderly outreach, home repair, soup kitchen, homeless shelter, daycare, food bank. You may also have the opportunity to join a unique homeless ministry that takes food, clothing and blankets right to the vulnerable homeless in downtown Pittsburgh. Other alternative spring break experiences may be available for rural Greene County, Pa. and/or Okolona, Miss. Contact the MFVP
office if you are interested in learning more about bringing students
for an alternative spring break experience. |
