Catholic Network of Volunteer Service » Visit this site http://www.cnvs.org
Catholic Network of Volunteer Service (CNVS), a non-profit organization established in 1963, has as its mission "to be a bridge between people thinking about volunteering and member programs, over 230 of which offer volunteer opportunities." The site features information for both programs seeking volunteers and those seeking a place to volunteer.
While this is a laudable goal and could be an excellent resource, it is not done with a commitment to fidelity. Rather than providing a network for those looking for authentically Catholic volunteer opportunities, CNVS provides an inclusive directory, featuring solid Catholic organizations together with unorthodox Catholic, non-Catholic Christian, and even secular organizations.
