I wish I could do this but I don't have any health insurance which is a requirement.  :(

I am considering doing this for six weeks this summer. If anyone else is interested please let me know! :)

I'm thinking of doing it for a while this summer too.

Anyone who is thinking about this - come and be welcome!  It is a way to meet the Lord. 

On the main USA websith there are a few comments from young women who have had the experience.  They are encouraging.  Not one of them was sorry whe did it - neither were we - and certainly, neither were our residents!

How do they expect young women to have health insurance? i.e.- if they are students etc

I, at least, have health insurance by way of my dad. I would assume that that's the case for most other college students.

[OnlySunshine]

I truly wish I had health insurance.  If I were attending the university, I would be able to purchase student insurance from the school but I won't be transferring until either Summer or the Fall.  I'm too old to receive my dad's insurance (over 27) and I can't afford my own private insurance yet.  :(

[Mary's Child]

Oh wow! this looks amazing and I would love to do it. Although I do not currently have health insurance and I am not sure it would be prudent for me at this point in my life. Also I am thinking that this could side-track me from my preparations for entering Postulancy.

I did this two years ago at the home in Washington D.C.! What a wonderful life-changing experience. I'd recommend it :)

Many times student health insurance plans cover you year round (ie my spring health insurance will cover me until the fall etc). Others are still on their parents insurance.

NO! You are not "considering it". You and I are doing this. Lol. I just did my application :P

[DiscerningCatholic]

I would do it, but I'll be gone at least 3 weeks out of the summer. :( And I'm too young.

[Mary's Child]

Will there be another service opportunity program in the Fall or Winter? I would like to do this. 

[Kayte Postle]

I think the program is always available for spring/winter breaks. Go for it! I'm doing this program right now in Pittsburgh, it's been an amazing experience!

[Mary's Child]

There will be one for Fall this year? I won't be available by the time the Spring one rolls around (hopefully) but I would like to do it in Fall.

I believe you are able to schedule volunteer work with them anytime you have free.  ;)
