VIDES+USA is a volunteer missioner organization that is dedicated to the education and development of youth and women in situations of poverty, marginalization, or difficulty, both in the Untied States and worldwide. VIDES+USA volunteer missioners walk in solidarity with those they serve and accompany them to create the necessary conditions for a better quality of life in which they can provide for themselves and break the vicious cycle of poverty which surrounds them as they grow in faith.
VIDES+USA provides service opportunities that build leadership skills by emphasizing the value and respect of the human person, striving for social justice, sharing of oneself freely, and incorporating Christian spirituality into the rhythm of everyday living.
VIDES+USA volunteer missioners follow the teaching of St. John Bosco and the accompaniment style of St. Mary Domenica Mazzarello. They strive to be leaders in society through education and development projects, accompanying those they serve to better themselves.
