American Friends of Action Reconciliation Service for Peace

With our 50th year anniversary around the corner, Cornelius, the 2024/25 volunteer at #josephshouseofcamden, the #SSJNC, and #christuslutheranchurch wants to share memories of his #volunteerservice in Camden, NJ. "My highlight. I always immediately think of the few occasions when I saw former guests from Joseph's House in their new jobs or simply somewhere else in public, where they were obviously doing better than when they were guests with us.

As our volunteers continue to look back what shaped them during the #volunteerservice #withASF Teresa who volunteers at #hebrewseniorlife in Boston reflected beautifully about the lasting effects of her service: "Many encounters that I had this year have changed my view of my origins. In Germany, I have repeatedly learned about the history of National Socialism—at school, in public spaces, and also in my personal reflections. But here, so far away from home, I realized once again in a different way how alive this history remains in the lives of other people—not as an abstract past, but as family history, as a driving force for political engagement, or as a quiet shadow in everyday life.
