About Us

Who are you?

• Assumption Volunteers is an initiative of the Religious of the Assumption, a Catholic religious congregation of women who have been involved with young people for nearly 180 years and active in 34 countries around the world.

What are your values?

• Assumption's mission statement:

"We are inspired by a vision of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God on earth. With our many friends and associates we strive to make the earth a place of glory for God, and humanity a people that reflects that glory.

WE ARE WOMEN OF FAITH:

• living together in communities

• passionate about God

• passionate about people 

WE STRIVE:

• to discover the good in each person and help them develop it

• to forge strong characters

• to give young people roots and wings

Convinced that each of us has a mission on earth, we want to help people discover the meaning of their lives and how they can be of service in the world. Assumption Volunteers is one of the ways we do this."

What can I get involved in? 

• We offer young adults an opportunity to share their gifts and skills in poor communities, especially with the young, alongside Assumption communities overseas and in the U.K. All our projects are broadly education-based.
