Franciscan Outreach Volunteers is a 1 year (renewable) program based on the values of Service, Community, Spirituality and Simple Living.  Volunteers live and work at Franciscan Outreach Association (FOA), a non-profit agency providing emergency and long-term services to those who are homeless, poor and marginalized in Chicago.  Volunteers work directly with those who are homeless, providing hospitality and services at our Soup Kitchen and Shelter sites.  Volunteers live in intentional community with 11-13 other volunteers, participating in retreats, weekly reflections, meetings and community nights.

     We are looking for men and women with the skills, commitment and passion necessary to help bring about the personal and societal transformation we seek.  For more information on our volunteer program including volunteer reflections, service site info, core values and application information please visit us at: www.foavolunteers.blogspot.com
