Order Shared Visions to assist in the spiritual formation of your current volunteers, and peruse our online archives. Our Current Volunteers Page offers a variety of resources--both spiritual and practical--to assist volunteer communities throughout their term of service. Please encourage your volunteers to utilize and to contribute to these suggestions for community activities, local resources, books, recipes and more. The 'What's Next?' Notebook addresses issues encountered in the
post-service stage of volunteering. This resource will be helpful to
volunteers and lay missioners as they approach the conclusion of their service
term and begin transitioning to their next steps.
'What's Next?'
is available online in both HTML and PDF formats. Staying Connected is another free newsletter from the Pallotti Center, created to assist former volunteers on their journey after their term of service. This newsletter explores questions regarding decision-making, leadership, relationships, and spirituality--an excellent resource for volunteers as they begin a new stage of life. Order a print version of Staying Connected for your office staff, or browse through our online archives. Our Network of Former Volunteers connects 'formers' across the nation, providing a supportive community for discussion, assistance, and advice. Members of the network not only assist each other in finding jobs and relocating, they also link each other to new social groups, spiritual communities, and fellow activists. This Network can serve as an additional resource for your own program's alumni community. Click here to learn more. The Pallotti CenterJob Bank provides alumni of Catholic volunteer programs with employment leads and contacts, especially in nonprofit, educational, and social justice organizations. Please encourage your volunteers to utilize this resource, and please e-mail us with ads about any job openings in your network of organizations. The Program
Anniversaries page is designed as a tool for you to keep in touch with
formers and to encourage them to stay involved, as well as to share information
with prospective volunteers. If your program has an important anniversary
coming up, make sure to send us your updated information! Our Connections directory, which contains information on more than one hundred lay volunteer programs, is distributed free of charge to anyone interested in full-time volunteer opportunities. To order your copy of Connections, send us an e-mail. To browse the online version, click here. If your program is already listed in Connections, or if you would like to join our network for the first time, make sure to send us your updated information and program description!
