Stories and News from NDMV
In this reflection “A Call to Serve,” read about one volunteer’s year of service at Arrupe Jesuit High School in Colorado, where he supported students in preparing for college.
“To serve as a Notre Dame Mission Volunteer is the image of the person I would like to be: energized by my work, sure in my purpose, and spiritually fulfilled with the knowledge that I am making an impact on the lives of others.”
