primarysources date November 2008 The Lutheran VolunteerCorps is a national volunteer service program that was founded in 1979 by Luther Place Memorial Church in Washington, D.C. Each year, LVC places around 100 volunteers in sixteen different cities in the US to work for social justice with various nonprofit organizations. History Recognizing the intense need for volunteers in the 1970s and inspired by many other service organizations such as the Jesuit VolunteerCorps , Pastor John Steinbruck asked in 1976 why a Lutheran volunteer organization was not in place. Luther Place had been gaining momentum and addressing social justice issues through several outreach programs in the 1970s. In 1973, John and Erna Steinbruck co founded N Street Village, a continuum of care for homeless women. The idea of creating the Lutheran VolunteerCorps was well received by the congregation of Luther Place as a method of further addressing the apparent needs in the surrounding community as well as expanding to a national influence. By the early 1980s, LVC had set up houses of volunteers in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Maryland, and Wilmington, Delaware. As of 2010, 124 volunteers are in the following cities Washington, D.C. Baltimore, Maryland Wilmington, Delaware Minneapolis, Minnesota St. Paul, Minnesota Omaha, Nebraska, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Chicago, Illinois Tacoma, Washington Seattle, Washington Oakland, California San Francisco, California and Berkeley, California . The organization is considering new placement cities for volunteers, and more houses in some cities, to meet growing demand for volunteer positions.

Unreferenced date December 2007 The Financial Services VolunteerCorps FSVC was established in 1990 by John C. Whitehead and the late Cyrus R. Vance at the behest of U.S. President George H.W. Bush . It is a Non profit organization not for profit organization , headquartered in New York , whose mission is to build sound banking and financial systems in developing and transition countries seeking to develop market oriented economies. Its business model is based on a private public partnership, in which it receives grants from the U.S. State Department primarily through the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Middle East Partnership Initiative in order to provide technical assistance and training in transition countries. It does this by engaging financial experts from the United States and other developed countries to serve as short term, volunteer consultants in transition countries that are trying to reform or develop their financial systems. These experts typically provide advice to financial regulators such as central banks, finance ministries, securities commissions, deposit insurance agencies, pension fund supervisors, or to private institutions such as stock markets, commercial banks, brokers associations and insurance companies. FSVC was initially established to work in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union following the collapse of communism and the failure of centrally planned economies. The organization has since expanded beyond this region to work in other developing countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. FSVC is also a member of the Volunteers in Economic Growth Alliance VEGA , a consortium of 15 volunteer organizations that provide assistance and training in developing countries in the field of economic growth. FSVC seeks to transfer knowledge from more developed, western market economies to less developed, transition countries, through the use of experts from the world of finance.
