Build Relationships Serving in a Healthcare, Social Service, Education

Posted on:
Program Timing: Ongoing / Location: Baltimore, MD; Richmond, VA

Be “good help,” the translation of “bon secours,” to those in need in Baltimore, MD or Richmond, VA. Serve full time for a year either in healthcare, social service, or education placements within the Bon Secours Health System and live in a faith-based, intentional community with other recent college graduates!

In recent years, volunteers interested in the healthcare field have ministered in hospital settings in the Emergency Department, Renal Department, Behavioral Health Unit, and Inpatient Unit. They have also ministered in a mobile health clinic called Care-A-Van as well as in Public Health and Diabetes Education roles. All of the placements are focused on relationship-building, with 80% of every role focusing on direct service with patients or clients.

Equally important to volunteers’ full time service is their commitment to living in intentional community, in the same neighborhood as where they serve. During the year, the volunteers are invited to learn through service with others, practice God’s justice, develop community, live simply, and grow spiritually. The program provides housing, health insurance, transportation, a monthly stipend, and assistance with loan deferment. The program runs from late August 2019-July 2020.
