Thinking about a gap year? Looking for something while in transition? Consider doing a year of service with Notre Dame Mission Volunteers!  Notre Dame Mission Volunteers develops leaders through education and compassionate service, sparking confidence to learn and agency to transform communities. At the heart of our approach is relationship-centered service: one-on-one and small group support, mentoring youth, coaching adults working toward academic or career goals, and helping families navigate community resources. We believe service is most impactful when members feel supported—personally, professionally, and spiritually. That’s why the NDMV experience is built around accompaniment, learning, and growth. 

NDMV members serve 30–40 hours per week at Partner Sites, supporting educational and community needs. At the heart of our approach is relationship-centered service, which includes one-on-one and small group support, mentoring youth, coaching adults working toward academic or career goals, and helping families navigate community resources.
