Become a Volunteer
I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. Then I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and I saw that service is joy." – Kahlil Gibran

Become a VolunteerThe amazing Ignatians West volunteers are mature women and men giving their time in service to others. They bring their talent, wisdom, skills, and experience to non-profit agencies to assist them in providing direct service to those in need. Rather than initiating service projects, Ignatians West matches volunteer skills and interests with the existing projects and programs of our partner agencies throughout the greater Los Angeles area. In addition, Ignatians West provides volunteers with the opportunity for growth through a yearlong program of shared reflection with fellow volunteers and through lay formation in the Ignatians tradition provided by lay leaders and members of the Jesuit community.
