Program Description
Are you a recent college graduate who is still looking for work? Are you interested in taking a year before deciding what to do next? Or maybe you're wondering if your current occupation is a wrong fit? The Catholic Charities Service Corps (CCSC) could be for you!
Based in Buffalo, the year-long program offers young adults the
chance to serve low-income populations in a variety of entry-level
placements. Volunteers receive housing, health insurance,
transportation, and a small stipend. While using their gifts and skills
to empower others, volunteers also live together in community. CCSC
members stay open to four areas during their year: social justice,
simplicity, community, and spirituality.
The CCSC is often described as a mix between the Peace Corps and the
Real World. Many former volunteers tell us how much they learn about
themselves, the causes and realities of poverty and injustice, and other
people during the year.
