Catholic Worker Volunteer Opportunities

Most Catholic Worker communities have many ways for locals to get involved; contact your local community directly to find out how you might plug in. But if you’re looking for a longer-term commitment (say, living and working in a house of hospitality), check out the listings below. They’re organized by date, newest to oldest.

If you are a CW community interested in listing a volunteer opportunity, drop a note to info@catholicworker.org. Include the words “CW volunteer listing” in the subject line to help us spot your note amid all the spam.
