Dear Lutheran Service Corps (LSC) friends, supporters, and partners:

On July 8, the LSC board made the difficult decision to bring the organization to a close, effective later this year. As many of you are aware, applications to service year organizations across the nation have been in sharp decline for over a decade, and LSC was not exempt from this trend. In the years 2020 and 2021, LSC was unable to fill the house with more than two volunteers. In 2022 and 2023, despite hard work and creative reorganization, LSC failed to recruit enough volunteers to have a service year. The board considered both the long-term trends for recruitment and mounting financial concerns when making their decision. They concluded that the time had come to bring LSC’s ministry to a close.

We are immensely proud of the more than three decades of service that LSC has provided to the Omaha metro area and are deeply grateful to all of you who supported us in making that possible.

Please keep an eye out for future communications concerning a closing event to honor the work of LSC and for plans to keep LSC’s legacy alive for years to come.

Thank you again for your friendship and support over the last 30 years. If you have any questions, please contact LSC Director Scott Glaser at [email protected].

Lutheran Service Corps Community, Peace, and Justice

Spiritual exploration is a unique process and means something different for everyone. Meet monthly with a mentor to learn more and explore what is important and of great impact-in your own spiritual journey or exploring different experiences. Each month has a different theme to dig deeper into what moves you. All faiths are welcome!

Minnesota! We’re at the MN private colleges job and career fair at the convention center today until 2:00. Come check us to learn more about how you can take a service year to support the Omaha community!

Why a year of service? Take a chance to expand horizons, get some work experience, and make a difference in the community! LSC volunteers receive housing, insurance, a monthly stipend, and amazing connections to the Omaha community from mentors and service placements. As a past volunteer said “Seeing the folks dedicated to transforming their own community from the ground up made me optimistic about the role future LSC volunteers will play in creating a better Omaha.”

Intentional community - a group of people who choose to live together, share resources, experiences, and parts of their lives with each other in a way that not many other people can say they’ve done. Check out our website to learn more about the different experiences LSC volunteers experience and apply today!

We’re on the move again! Check us out at Peru State today!
