Volunteers Engage Their Passions: Immigration & Refugee Services

’17-’18 Volunteer Micaela Laurence at her desk at Lutheran Social Services  During National Orientation this year, Volunteers took a moment to write their hopes, fears, questions, and insights onto post-it notes and place them onto the walls of the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. One read, “How do we work for social justice today?” Part of LVC’s answer to this question is to work where one’s passion lies. Because LVC believes that achieving justice requires progress across many issue areas, and that each area needs talented leaders in the future, LVC places passionate Volunteers with amazing nonprofit organizations across a wide range of socialRead More →

Volunteer Spotlight: Monica Sieg

As a new year with LVC begins, a new set of Volunteers bring new LVC stories, new backgrounds, and new experiences in service, intentional community, and social justice. We’re excited to spotlight our #LVC17 Volunteers! We’ll start off Twin Cities Volunteer Monica Sieg, who is serving Neighborhood House (in The Wellstone Center) in St. Paul, MN this year as a basic needs specialist.

LVC16 Volunteer Spotlight: Erika Espey-Sundt

Erika Espey-Sundt, St. Olaf College grad, just finished up her LVC year living in Imani House in the Twin Cities. This is what she had to say about spending a year with LVC. “I just finished my year of service with LVC at Lutheran Social Service of MN – Camp Noah where I researched communities across the US affected by disaster and community trauma. Through outreach and continued conversation our team is working to host 15 camps nationwide this summer to work alongside community members in the long-term disaster recovery process.

Catching Up With Alumni: Peter Spuit and Kaydee Kirk

Kaydee Kirk (’98-’99) and Peter Spuit (’99-’00) are two Lutheran Volunteer Corps alumni who live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Kaydee is a graduate of Augsburg College and lived in Dag Hammarskjold House during her LVC year in Washington, D.C., and Peter is a graduate of Luther College and lived in Imani House during his LVC year in Minneapolis. We caught up with the two of them recently to hear what they’ve been up to and how LVC has continued to impact their lives.

My Journey to LVC and North Minneapolis

Frannie Dyer, 2016-17 Volunteer, Imani House This past May I graduated from Wittenberg University, a experience that tested me in all aspects of life – academically, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Throughout college, I was able to further discover and grow into myself – a self that identifies as Lutheran, open minded, and hungry to change the world. I heard about LVC during my junior year of college through chapel talks from LVC alumnae. The idea of a year of service began to sound really appealing. LVC sounded fun, exciting and extremely challenging. I knew that I would be tested in ways I had yet toRead More →
