The Don Bosco Volunteers (DBV) are consecrated women who live in the world, dress like other women, work among others. They carry on a quiet and steady mission of making Christ and His message known through the witness of their personal lives and apostolic response to the needs of the hour. More than 1300 consecrated persons are members of this secular institute worldwide. Following the plan of holiness outlined in their rule, the DBVs receive spiritual direction and encouragement from Salesian Priests, who support them in their efforts toward personal holiness and apostolic activity.
