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.
