Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest
Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest places and supports volunteers in cities and rural areas from Montana to Alaska.
Sheepscot helps them devise and execute communication strategies to bridge their broad geographic reach and celebrate the impact of their volunteers.
Anniversary Video
In 2025, JVC Northwest tasked us with creating a video to be screened at its 70th anniversary celebration and fundraiser. Encompassing seventy years of history in a short, engaging video was no mean feat. How could we tell JVC’s story in a way that both paid homage to the past but also looked toward the future? Using photos and home videos from hundreds of sources, along with Zoom interviews and volunteer testimonials, we had to get creative. We’re proud of the finished product for precisely this reason: We had to think outside the box to find a way to bring all of these stories and raw materials together. We’re told that the screening at JVC’s 70th anniversary celebration was met with laughter, applause, and tears.
Print Magazine
Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest asked Sheepscot to redesign its organizational magazine for a new generation. Traditionally printed in black and white on stapled newsprint, the old design fell short both in appearance and content.
Sheepscot designed and published the 32-page, inaugural edition in Fall 2021 to rave reviews from staff, alumni, volunteers and program partners. Original photography enlivens the cover and interior pages, alongside on-brand graphics and carefully edited copy. The magazine is released annually in September.
Fundraising Collateral
JVC Northwest regularly calls on Sheepscot to develop one-of-a-kind illustrations for use in their fundraising materials. We deliver print-ready files for fundraising appeals, invitations and Christmas cards, as well as digital templates that allow internal staff to build out other materials to match.
Sheepscot’s work helps the organization connect with its primary donor community of past volunteers, all while centering its four core values: community, social & ecological justice, simple living, and spirituality & reflection.
Photography
We’ve spent time with JVCNW volunteers, capturing intimate, spontaneous moments at work and in their shared communities.
