GSV is proud to introduce the amazing 2016-2017 volunteers! The Good Shepherd Volunteer year began this August with a week-long Orientation at Loyola Retreat House in Morristown, NJ. Our volunteers spent the week getting to know each other, learning about the GSV mission and history, and testing their courage at a nearby ropes course!
This year we have 11 domestic volunteers placed in California, New Jersey and New York. We also have 7 international volunteers placed in Chile and Thailand.
