Who are we?

Assumption Volunteers is an initiative of the Assumption Sisters, a Catholic religious congregation of women who have been involved with young people for over 180 years and active in 32 countries around the world.

We offer opportunities in educational, environmental and creative projects which aim to impact the lives of young people.

Our mission

Inspired by St Marie Eugenie and rooted in Jesus Christ, we aspire to journey with young people toward the realisation of the fullness of their life, while transforming society through joyful service in Assumption projects.

“Each of us has a mission here on earth”
