Orthodox Volunteer Corps (OVC) is a year-long immersive program for young adults ages 21-29 to serve with our most vulnerable neighbors. Corps Members live in community with other young adults, explore topics of the faith and leadership, and root themselves in the Church. Housing, transportation, and food are 100% covered. OVC began programming in Pittsburgh in fall 2022 with 6 participants, expanded to Boston in 2024, and by 2026 had over 100 participants across four programs.
OVC is now pleased to announce expansion to a third city: Phoenix, Arizona, beginning in Fall 2027.
Applications are now open for the 2027-28 full-time program. Learn more at orthodoxvolunteercorps.org/.
