Marie Schultz ~ U.S. Program Coordinator
I am the U.S. Program Coordinator for Mercy Volunteer Corps. I am originally from Dayton, Ohio, and attended the University of Dayton. I met the Mercy community when I was searching for a volunteer program in which to participate following college graduation. From 1999 to 2000, I volunteered with Mercy Volunteer Corps in Baltimore, Maryland, at The Learning Bank of COIL, Inc. (an adult literacy center in Southwest Baltimore). Following my volunteer year, I had the opportunity to assist with the volunteer community in Detroit as part of their support network. I joined staff in January 2005 and consider it a gift to be able to walk with the volunteers as they live their experience.
Maureen Kubicek ~ Recruitment Coordinator
After graduating from La Salle University in 2002, I joined Mercy Volunteer Corps and served at Saint Michaels High School on the Navajo Reservation for two years teaching various classes and coaching basketball and volleyball. When I returned to my home in Northeast Philadelphia after this life-changing experience, I knew that I wanted to stay connected to the mission of MVC. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work on the staff as the Recruitment Coordinator.
Lisa Stellino ~ International Program Coordinator
When I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, I spent a year in Buffalo with Franciscan Volunteer Ministry. That experience, especially working at a refugee shelter, planted the seeds that later led me to volunteer with Mercy Volunteer Corps in Guyana, South America. I volunteered in Guyana from 2002-2004 where I served as a social worker at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital and a tutor at St. John Bosco Orphanage. Staying involved with MVC since my return to the U.S. has helped me to remind myself of the values, lessons, and memories I hold so dear from my time in Guyana. I am thankful for the chance to join the staff of MVC and devote my time so that others may experience the gift of spending a year or two with the program.
