Presentation Volunteer Programme (PVP)

The Presentation Volunteer Programme offers young adults the opportunity to work in St. Lucia in the West Indies or in Ghana for 1-2 years. It is both a challenge and an opportunity for the volunteers as they share their time and talents with disadvantaged young people and immerse themselves in a different culture.

We are currently seeking volunteers to begin in August 2008! Contact Katherine Barry at 021-4654000 or katherine.e.barry@gmail.com, for more information or

In St. Lucia, volunteers work in a project called CARE (Centre for Adolescent Renewal and Education) which is an alternative education project for young people who have dropped out of the formal school system. In Ghana, volunteers usually work on education projects.

The volunteers are really following in the spirit of Blessed Edmund: they could be at home making money and advancing their careers, instead, they generously decide to work with those in need.

Get Involved! Contact: Katherine Barry, Young Adult Ministry Office, Presentation Brothers, Mt. St. Joseph, Blarney St., Cork.
