Service Opportunities

Alumni are not only welcome at our service projects, they're wanted! Service opportunities will be updated regularly here.
  • Alumni Service Corps
    The Alumni Service Corps (ASC) is a 10-month volunteer program for St. Joseph's Preparatory School alums who have recently graduated from college. Alums work in a variety of different jobs at the Prep and get involved in extracurricular activities, sports, clubs, retreats, and service projects. In return for this work, ASC members receive housing (utilities paid) and a stipend for food and other expenses.

    Applicants are subject to the same academic criteria as applicants for full-time teaching positions, i.e., bachelor's degree in subject area, recommendations, interviews with and approval of department chair, principal, and president. Among other things, the Prep's needs in a particular subject area and/or extracurricular activity, as well as the applicant's recommendations, will be taken into account. Those applying for non-academic jobs should be able to have comparable experience or the ability to relate their own experience to the work needed.

    ASC members live in community and meet frequently throughout the year to pray and reflect on their experience. If accepted, all are expected to be active participants in the ASC community as well as the Prep community. ASC members are full-time volunteers and student loan deferment is possible.

    Click here for the application. The deadline to apply is early December and all interviews will take place over Christmas break. In addition to the application, candidates also need a recommendation. Please have your references fill out THIS FORM. For more information, contact Dan Ranalli '00 at dranalli@sjprep.org.

  • Ignatian Volunteer Corps
    St. Joseph’s Prep graduates understand the need to be the hands and feet of Christ in our world. The Prep is proud to partner with the Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) to provide an opportunity for alumni 50 and over to live this core value instilled in all Jesuit school graduates.
     
    IVC Philadelphia/South Jersey recruits and supports committed, competent, and caring service corps members for community programs serving vulnerable populations throughout the region. Service corps members create their own schedules but typically work two days a week at partner agencies offering direct service to children, families, and adults who are materially poor. It is an opportunity to use your professional skills to support a local non-profit.
     
    For more information, contact John Green, Director, IVC Philadelphia/South Jersey at 215-839-8415.
