Marquette Volunteer Corps is a semester-long opportunity for Marquette students to volunteer in a meaningful way, building relationships with community members as well as their peers.
MVC volunteers join a team of 5-8 members that volunteer together every week for a semester. Each team is situated around an issue area, such as health, the environment, literacy, etc. You'll spend the semester serving alongside your team and learning more about the issue, Milwaukee, and yourself.
Choose an issue area you care about:
- Homelessness and the Arts (The Guest House)
- The Environment (The Urban Ecology Center)
- Youth Leadership and Violence Prevention (Safe & Sound)
- English as a Second Language (Empowering Latinos)
- Early Childhood Literacy (Read with Me at the Next Door Foundation)
Marquette Volunteer Corps is now full for Fall 2013. If you are interested in volunteering in Spring 2014, contact patrick.schweiger@marquette.edu for more information.

Why Join Marquette Volunteer Corps?
- Make a real difference in the Milwaukee community, all while learning about an issue that you care about
- Develop relationships with your teammates
- Reflect on your experience with an experienced Team Leader
- We coordinate transportation
- After a year of participation, leadership positions are available
Volunteers are expected to commit to volunteering every week for an entire semester, so plan ahead for your other responsibilities. We understand that schedules get busy, so 1-2 absenses per semester can be discussed with your Team Leader.
