Financial and Living Arrangements
As
a member of CVV, you will live in the inner-city of Denver
in a shared community house. Your lifestyle will
center on community and simplicity, as you participate
in managing daily operations and in the care and upkeep
of the house. In other words, you cook, eat, clean, and
sometimes work
together.
You won't be alone; you will be living with 8-12 other
volunteers in a community supported by the CVV staff,
board of directors, and the broader community of Denver
and Colorado.
You will work with us to select a job that is appropriate
for your experience, education, and interest. You will
be a part of the community from August through the
following June. You will receive room and board, health
insurance, a monthly stipend, transportation assistance,
school loan deferments and lots of support along the
way.
 Living
together, you will be expected to participate in the
process of mutual understanding and respect for others,
coping with and accepting personal differences, and
discovering similarities in one another.
To

CVV provides the following:
-
