Day 181-February 8, 2011

Today I had my JVC additional year interview.  I think it went well and I learned a lot about the different placements for next year.

Here is the information about an additional year.  Let me know what you think!

The pink ones are the ones I highlighted when I first looked through these options.

JVC is excited that you are considering serving as a Jesuit Volunteer for an additional year.  As you enter into the next stage of discernment, we wanted to highlight some placement and community opportunities that may be of particular interest to you in your second year of JVC.  Some of the positions require an additional year and some of them are included because both JVC and the agency believe an additional year filling the position would benefit both the position and the volunteer.  The information below is to give you an idea of what is available, and more details will be available through your interview and at other points in the process.  Please know that you are NOT limited to these positions, but we wanted to highlight them for you.
