The Lutheran Volunteer Corps (LVC) is a full-time, volunteer service and leadership program. It was founded in 1979 by Luther Place Memorial Church in Washington, DC. Each year, LVC places approximately 100 volunteers in urban areas across the United States to work for social justice with various nonprofit organizations. The program lasts one to two years. The volunteers live together in the areas they serve and are encouraged to explore living simply and sustainably in intentional community.
Current placement cities include Baltimore, Maryland, Chicago, Illinois, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Minneapolis–Saint Paul, Minnesota, Omaha, Nebraska, Washington, D.C., and Wilmington, Delaware. In the past, volunteers have also been placed in Atlanta, Georgia, Berkeley, California, Detroit, Michigan, Jersey City, New Jersey, Port Huron, Michigan, San Francisco-Oakland, California, Seattle, Washington, and Tacoma, Washington.
