Service Trips
“If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is tied up with mine, then let us work together.”
Connection to the Global Community

This year, those who went were (from left to right) Katie Avetta, Kelly Johnson, Angela Upright, Devayu Parikh, Wilbert Diaz, Libby Lannon, Katie Gereda, Angela Bey, Malik Geraci, Stephanie Hawkins, and Allison DeGerlia. Also pictured are Director Christian Rice and Coordinator Katie Turek. Thanks to everyone who gave their time and energy to make a difference in the local and international communities.
