SMV Advisory Team

Working together to better serve the Salesian Missionary Volunteering community

Who is the Advisory Team

We are a group of Salesians of Don Bosco and Salesian Lay people with extensive experience working in Salesian Volunteer Programs. The Team is supported by the Missions and Youth Ministry departments of the Salesian Congregation. We come from different parts of the world and have different areas of expertise. Our common passion and goal is a desire to provide support and connectedness to Salesian Volunteer programs and Salesian Provinces who have volunteer programs and would like to network or who are wanting to initiate SMVS.

role

The role and identity of the Advisory Team will evolve as specific needs change, but what is certain is that we want to be of service to Salesian Mission Volunteering. Your feedback, collaboration and contribution is essential to enrich SMVS throughout the world.

Goal

Connect and network with Salesian volunteer organizations to provide support, guidance, formation, and opportunities to network and collaborate. This will hopefully improve the quality of service provided by Salesian volunteer organizations and will support and animate the Salesian Volunteer Movement that will support the Congregation with quality volunteers with a clear Salesian identity.
