TUCSON BORDERLAND YOUNG ADULT VOLUNTEERS

Young Adult Volunteers (YAVs) spend a year of service responding to poverty, violence, and injustice, while exploring how their faith demands action in the world. This includes a focus on building relationships and community on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border as well as involvement in the humanitarian work of organizations and the church in the borderlands that welcomes immigrants and refugees.

Tucson Borderland program currently has two YAVs, Lisett and Eli, in their program!

Lisett is working with Iskashitaa Refugee Network as a volunteer coordinator and is helping volunteers and UN refugees from Africa, Asia and the Middle East in locating, harvesting and redistributing locally grown fruits and vegetables. One thing she is passionate about is, “being there for not just my neighbor but for others who might be considered strangers.”

Eli is working with Community Home Repair Projects of Arizona (CHRPA). This nonprofit provides handyman work for people that otherwise would not be able to afford to have their homes fixed. Eli shares that “while the work can be hard, I have enjoyed exploring volunteer service in a new way.”

Please pray for the Tucson Borderland YAV program as they celebrate 20 years of border ministry. You can learn more about the YAV Program at presbyterianmission.org/ ministries/yav/.
