United States
Our partner in the USA is AMA - the Associate Missionaries of the Assumption (see their web page under Links). They place young Christians in community to share their lives and skills with poor and marginalized people.
Current projects are in:
Worcester, MA
The volunteers live in community and serve the neighborhood, a diverse tapestry of cultures and languages from around the world through youth ministry, mentoring, and parish ministry through St. Peter's parish and St. Andrew the Apostle Mission parish. There are also other local opportunities available, depending on the skills and interests of the volunteers.
Chaparral, New Mexico
In rural Chaparral, on the US/Mexican border, the Assumption Sisters and the volunteers work largely with the recently arrived Mexican population. The volunteers live and work at Casa Maria Eugenia, running vacation and summer camps for children and teens. They also coordinate Friday night activities for the families of Chaparral; assist in the nearby middle-school with ESL classes; join the Sisters in many peace and justice activities; volunteer at the prison; and immerse themselves in the life of the community.
Philadelphia, PA
Volunteers will work at a local Montessori school or with the New Jerusalem Community, which strives to empower recovering addicts.
