Clean & Sober provides resources to homeless addicts and alcoholics seeking help. These resources include a walk-in office at a homeless services agency, two entry-level residential communities, and transitional housing. Clean & Sober provides housing for those who do not qualify for or cannot afford other programs.
A volunteer has an opportunity to play a huge role in this amazing transformation through working directly with residents: offering support, mentoring, providing transportation, securing donations and providing encouragement.

While serving full-time for 1 year at this site, volunteers also commit to living a simple and spiritual lifestyle in community with other volunteers.

Volunteers are provided with:

• housing

• transportation (vehicle or public transit pass)

• food stipend

• medical insurance

• personal stipend ($100/month)

• orientations and retreats

• spiritual direction (if desired)

• support from the Sisters and Associates of Mercy as well as MVC alumni in the local community

The service year begins in early August and extends through the following July. The ending date of the yearlong commitment varies according to site and regional needs, but typically falls between July 15th and 31st. Volunteers may choose to renew for a second year.
