"Across the diverse issues that they fight for, they were moved to be present because they care. It reminded me that I belong right where I am."

We are proud to introduce the incredible 2026-2027 volunteers! This year we have seven domestic volunteers placed in Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and New York as well as three international volunteers placed in Thailand and Bolivia! Let's meet the communities...

"A moment that stands out from my time at GSV is actually a series of moments that took place during retreats in Nyack, New York. The retreats provided us with an opportunity to interact with other volunteers and reflect on our work and practices. The retreats were a form of community that helped remind me of why being a Good Shepherd Volunteer mattered and what roles that volunteers could play in each of the communities in which they worked."
