Engage in a meaningful year of service and community with JVC Northwest! For one year, Jesuit Volunteer (JV) / AmeriCorps members serve local organizations across the Pacific Northwest, helping them address a pressing community need that they’ve identified. By living together in intentional community, JV/AmeriCorps members lean on each other for personal growth in the four core values of community, simple living, social and ecological justice, and
spirituality/reflection.

Here at the Seattle Seafarers Center, we are looking to fill the role of Seafarers' Hospitality Coordinator with a JV/AmeriCorps member for the 2026-27 service year that begins in August. The Seafarers' Hospitality Coordinator will collaborate with fellow staff and volunteers to help ensure all ships are visited at least once during a ship's berthing, transport seafarers and/or goods for seafarers, look out for welfare issues onboard and escalate appropriately, interact with local communities to share the story of the Center, and update and maintain social media platforms. The JV will also collaborate on the development of new services to seafarers. For a full position description, please see the attached document:
