“My decision to apply for a faith-oriented volunteer program was a direct result of my faith. Over the past few years, I have begun to take my faith more seriously. In conjunction with my faith journey, I have seen several things in our world which are unjust and need attention. I feel I have been summoned to answer Jesus’ call to help the oppressed. If it were not for my faith, I would not be applying for the unique experiences that FrancisCorps offers.”
