An Experiment in Faithfulness in the Friends’ Tradition

Since the 1650s, the Religious Society of Friends has taught that it’s not enough for us to preach what we believe – we must live our faith. Today, across the diverse branches of the Quaker tradition, new Life is breaking through, bringing hope for our shared future. With your involvement, Quaker Voluntary Service can be an important part of what comes next for our movement. Let’s let our lives speak.

QVS Receives $20,000 Challenge Grant!

QVS has received a significant challenge grant of up to $10,000 a year for two years. Our donor will match any gift of $250 or more on a dollar for dollar basis, thus doubling these gifts, up to $10,000 for this and the following year. Whether you have given to QVS previously or not, you can help us meet this challenge and raise an additional $20,000 for QVS in 2012 by making a gift of $250 or more. See below for details on how to give. Thank you!

About Our Work

A vibrant team of supporters is working to launch our national network with the pilot QVS service house in Atlanta, Georgia in the fall of 2012. From this vital first step, we hope to expand rapidly toward national reach over the next few years. The network of people and communities linked to Quaker service opportunities around the country is growing. We hope you’ll consider helping us get started.

Applications for Inaugural Year
We received many wonderful applications for our first program year, and we have selected an incredible founding class. We are no longer accepting applications, and we look forward to introducing the founding class of QVS volunteers soon!
