About Westmoreland Volunteer CorpsThe Westmoreland Volunteer Corps (WVC) is now accepting applications for a one-year program in the Washington, DC, area beginning Labor Day weekend 2010. If you are a college senior with a passion for social justice and an interest in helping others, we encourage you to consider participating in our successful program. The WVC is a one-year domestic volunteer service program sponsored by Westmoreland Congregational United Church of Christ in Bethesda, Maryland, a few steps from Washington D.C. Persons of all faiths are welcome to participate. WVC has a 25-year history of changing lives of those who volunteer and those who benefit from their involvement. The WVC offers five young adults, typically recent college graduates, the opportunity to work in direct social service through placements with Washington-area service agencies. Each year WVC identifies positions with approximately 15 agencies in Washington, DC, and suburban Maryland and Virginia. These agencies provide services such as employment counseling and search, case workers for at-risk youth, maternal/child health care and other health programs, social and legal services and shelters for the homeless, refugee services, social justice and advocacy, and elderly support. The goals of the participating agencies are matched with the interests, skills, academic training, and career goals of the five Volunteers. The positions at the agencies provide opportunities for Volunteers to explore possible career paths in social service, health care, law, housing, religion, education, and international aid, among others.
