Collaboration with iibloom.com and First Post!

The Pallotti Center has recently started a collaboration with new Catholic site for young adults- iibloom.com. We are excited to contribute articles and spread the good word about long-term Catholic volunteering!

Our first submission just went live- "A Call to Volunteer Service".

We look forward to contributing more and working with iibloom to minister to young adults!

Closure and Transition for Volunteers - May 2010

This time of year often brings about transition for volunteer communities. New volunteers for the summer months may be coming in, volunteers who have served for a year or more may be ending their time of service.

The Pallotti Center addresses transition for volunteers in many ways. Each year in our publication of Shared Visions we publish activities and articles to help volunteers with any transitions in their communities. Be on the look out for our latest edition on our website!

In the meantime, here are some activities you may want to use in community if you are undergoing some changes at this time. Also be sure to check out our page on Discernment

The Pallotti Center is also co-sponsoring an event with CNVS on May 23 in Washington, DC for any transitioning or former volunteers. Here are the details!
