Alumni Volunteer Corps

What does an AVC do?
AVC members develop a schedule which fits their interests with the needs of the school. The AVC program offers a unique opportunity to influence students in many different ways. The great teachers at The High, past and current, have affected each of us. Teachers such as Mr. Hafner or Mr. Coyne have changed the lives of thousands of young men. Now is your chance to do the same.

What are the benefits? 

• Free housing in a five bedroom home
• Free utilities
• Small living stipend
• Wide range of work experience
• The challenge to serve others
• The chance to develop spiritually
• The opportunity to be part of the excitement as U of D Jesuit and the City of Detroit grow

How does the AVC live?
AVC members live as a community in school-owned houses located near the campus. They share meals together regularly as well as household responsibilities. The AVC community also interacts with the Jesuit community on a weekly basis at the Jesuit Residence.
