Stretch Your Heart

A summer volunteer opportunity for young adult women

Stretch Your Heart invites women, ages 18-35, to spend five days living in community while offering service to those in need. The program was launched by the Sisters of Notre Dame in 2004. Over the years our volunteers:

  • Have worked with children in a crisis care center
  • Spent time with families who were transitioning from homelessness into homes of their own
  • Harvested crops on a farm that services hunger centers
  • Served meals at hunger centers
  • Worked with children and families from migrant camps
