The PLACE Corps is Loyola Marymount University’s nationally recognized Catholic teacher service corps. Built upon the three pillars of Professional Development, Community, and Spirituality, PLACE Corps members earn a debt-free master’s degree and credential while serving as full-time teachers in under-resourced Catholic schools of the Los Angeles Archdiocese. During their two-year commitment, program members live with one another in community while exploring and strengthening their own personal spirituality.
