La Casa De La Misericordia, an asylum shelter in Nogales, MX jointly funded by the Southwest Conference of the UCC, Grand Canyon Synod of the ELCA, and Episcopal Diocese of Arizona, is seeking a single volunteer or couple to teach ESL classes on-site for one to two years starting in September 2023 with a prior 1-3 months of training for interaction with vulnerable asylum seekers beforehand. Volunteer(s) will teach 1-2 ESL classes 3-4 days a week in consultation with La Casa’s director, Sister Lika Macias. Volunteer(s) living accommodations will be onsite at La Casa, with 1-2 days weekly traveling 30 minutes to Sahuarita, AZ to assist the Green Valley Samaritans and Sahuarita Food Bank at Church of the Good Shepherd UCC in their operations as needed. Transportation across the border will be provided by the Green Valley Samaritans. Ideal candidates for service will demonstrate interest in migration services and care for vulnerable populations, interest in teaching ESL, and proficiency or a willingness to learn Spanish language. Please apply to become a Parter in Service with the application link above and indicate your interest in this opportunity. Health insurance (non-Pensions Boards) is available if needed. Transportation is included. Blessings! |
