If you are looking for a post-retirement position, we will welcome your experience and wisdom! Catholic Charities DC Volunteer Engagement Office (VEO) welcomes members of the community to join our mission by standing in solidarity with the +180K people annually accessing the agency's services via our 50+ programs and 30+ locations in Washington DC and 5 counties in Maryland. The VISTA in this role will collaborate with the VEO Team to develop and deliver a training program to our staff.

In the VEO, VISTA members are warmly welcomed, become part of a tight-knit team, and are supported to pursue their professional development goals while achieving program goals.
