Now accepting 2025/2026 Applications
Our year of service program is for adults 21-30 years old to dedicate 11 months to direct service, community, prayer and spirituality, and reflection and discussion.
Who?
Individuals 21-30 years old seeking personal transformation through service, intentional community, and reflection and discussion. Our program is rooted in the Catholic Vincentian identity and volunteers will participate in faith and spiritual practices in our program. You do not need to be Catholic participate and we strongly believe that diversity contributes to a richer and fuller picture of the kingdom of God.
To learn more, see our guiding pillars page.
Where?
We are located in the city of Denver where we have two community residences for our volunteers. Volunteers will enjoy their own room, multiple communal spaces, a chapel and an outdoor patio in each home. Through the intention of simple living, our volunteers learn how to actively be a part of city life in creative and fun ways.
What?
Working 32 hours a week (Monday-Thursday) at an organization within the Denver community. We place volunteers at a wide variety of nonprofits, schools, and healthcare clinics that serve many different populations. We specifically partner with organizations serving immediate basic needs and are working towards systemic change and long-term equity.
Along with working at a placement site, you will participate in several activities through CVV to enrich your faith life, cultivate a communal awareness, and integrate our values in our every day life beyond our worksites.
Each Friday, CVV staff and volunteers participate in professional development through reflection on work at placement site, learn about many different systemic issues and solutions, and practice theological reflection.
How?
Each volunteer will receive a monthly stipend of $140, bus passes, a bike, and transportation reimbursement for any costs traveling to Denver and a transition stipend upon completion of the service year. Additionally, CVV provides advising for health insurance and student loan deferment. As an AmeriCorps funded program, Volunteers are eligible for an Education Award upon completion of the service year. If a volunteer does not qualify for AmeriCorps, CVV offers an education scholarship.
Each community will apply for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for their communal food budget upon arrival in Denver.
Volunteers do not need to fundraise for their year of service.
CVV does not want finances to be a barrier. If there is something not included on this list, we welcome a conversation on what other supports would make a year of service possible for you.
When?
Our year of service begins at the beginning of August and goes through the end of June. When you fill out the initial application, our staff will give you specific dates for that program year. Volunteers are given ten (10) vacation days to use throughout the year. In the spirit of simplicity, we ask that you are intentional with travel during your year.
Why?
There are countless reasons to ask why do a year of service with the Colorado Vincentian Volunteers. That is a question for you to dig deep and answer yourself.
