Review Informational Flyer

The best part of the year was going on the journey with those I served alongside.  You get to see into their lives.  You get to celebrate their accomplishments.

   How can you not come out a changed person?
You meet remarkable people.  You hear remarkable stories.  You learn how to survive.  You see how others survive.  You are definitely a different person.

Westmoreland Volunteer Corps., 2007-08

3-5 young adults serve in social service or justice advocacy agencies in the local community of a Companion Communities' host church.  The volunteers also form intentional community with one another, participate in activities of leadership development with the local host church and engage in faith conversations.
