CVN identified DePaul's Division of Mission and Ministry within a special group of campus ministry and service-learning offices nationwide that have demonstrated excellence in supporting young adults, as well as advocating for post-graduate service programs.
The organization also recognized DePaul based on volunteer and staff feedback. Throughout 2018-19, organizations recruited a large number of volunteers from the DePaul community. CVN staff noted the university's encouragement of both student and post-graduate service.
Since 1963, Catholic Volunteer Network has sought to bring together people who have a heart for service. The community consists of program staff; volunteers; missioners; colleges and universities; dioceses and parishes; religious communities; and lay groups who are champions for service.
