Expectations vs. Experience

Anna Jeide, 2016-17 Volunteer Dag Hammarskjold House, Washington, DC About seven months ago I was having lunch with my adviser at Luther College. With graduation fast approaching, I told her how excited I was to begin my year with Lutheran Volunteer Corps. For a long time I had felt called to participate in LVC, drawn by the promise of intentional community, a commitment to simple living, and the opportunity to work for justice.

I was placed at the World Relief Immigration Legal Clinic in Baltimore, Maryland, and I continue to work there today. My office works with immigrants to help each person know what their immigration options may be. If someone is not eligible for immigration relief, we let them know why not. If someone is eligible for immigration relief, we may help them in applying for immigration status. By working with clients who are from all around the world, I have been able to learn someRead More →
