Notre Dame Mission Volunteers

Overview

NDMV volunteers are placed at local 501c3 nonprofits and schools where they will complete a year of service. The service term kicks off with an NDMV orientation, where volunteers receive a comprehensive overview of the program, meet NDMV staff, and connect with their cohort. There are virtual bi-weekly team meetings, two virtual retreats (in the fall and spring), and an in‑person retreat focused on leadership development through personal and professional growth.

Volunteers have opportunities to attend National Service Day events and connect with over 6,000 NDMV alumni across the country. While position descriptions vary by placement site, all volunteers work with local partners to expand access to education, health, food security, and community resources. Our approach centers on relationship-centered service: one‑on‑one and small group support, mentoring youth, coaching adults toward academic or career goals, and helping families navigate community resources.

• NDMV Volunteers support in-school and after-school academics, adult education projects, food security, and outdoor education programming.
