CVV accomplishes this mission by placing these young adult volunteers as full-time staff members in agencies that provide services, resources, education, health care, housing, emergency assistance, and job training to those who are in need. The Volunteers live in an intentional faith community and participate in a structured program of experience, action and reflection on social justice issues and their work experiences. Since 1995, 275 volunteers have completed the program. In 2014-2015, the volunteers served approximately 35,000 hours which saved the agencies approximately $379,000. Testament of the CVV's program impact is best given by those volunteers whose lives have been changed by their work with those living in poverty. The following two stories are from volunteers who have been participants in our program(names have been changed to protect confidentiality).Kelsey Simkins worked at The GrowHaus for the year, and following her experience was hired as a full time staff person. This is her reflection on her worksite. Communityone simple word that is at the heart of CVV and my experience this year. In an activity I do with high school groups that come to The GrowHaus for workshops on food justice, I ask, What contributes to and defines a community? In this exercise, we examine the area surrounding The GrowHaus, a low income, industrial, mostly immigrant neighborhood full of families who struggle with air and noise pollution and the lack of access to healthy affordable food, among other challenges. But amidst the environmental and socioeconomic challenges that face this neighborhood, is a community rich in compassion, family connections, and culture. As most everything does at an urban farm and marketplace like The GrowHaus, community often centers on food. One late Thursday afternoon, as my coworkers and I were preparing for an upcoming event, Sandra, a committed volunteer from the neighborhood, showed up with ingredients and began making us all chanclas, a fresh Mexican tortilla dish named for its flip-flop shape. As Sandra passed around delicious food, she talked about her dream to open a caf that fuses Mexican and American cuisine. This spring, Sandra has been part of The GrowHaus micro-business class, using our resources to start to develop this dream. In the neglected neighborhood of Elyria-Swansea, The GrowHaus offers more than just fresh food. We seek to be a space of refuge and empowerment for the beautiful community surrounding usa place the community can take ownership of. Over the months I have been at The GrowHaus, I have seen Araceli, a coworker from the neighborhood, begin to use her voice more strongly. Recently, she explained that she feels good at The GrowHaus because it is a place where people listen to residents. At our strategic planning retreat, Araceli asked to pray at our staff dinner. She thanked God for the work The GrowHaus is doing in the community and for the ownership she and other community members have over what we do. She prayed that we continue to create a place for the neighborhood to find amor, salud, educacin y comunidad (love, health, education, and community). In CVV, I have encountered community in many forms, in my living situation, in my church community, among my co-workers, but I have learned the most about developing community from the residents of the neighborhood surrounding The GrowHaus. They have given to me without the expectation of anything in return in ways that I can never repay.Dominic Buchmiller was a Case Manager at Senior Support Services, a day shelter for seniors experiencing homelessness. He learned much about the seniors and about himself through that experience. As I look back on my year at Senior Support Services where I have been volunteering full-time, I recognize the unique space that this center provides in the Denver community. Over the past few months, as a visitor in this city, I have seen the ways in which Senior Support Services works to uplift and empower the hungry and homeless seniors in Denver. At Senior Support Services, the staff does not coddle. They do not proffer false hope. Instead, Senior Support Services offers people the opportunity to sit with their hardships and focus on personal growth. Senior Support Services fosters a space for people to recollect their physical and emotional strength during some of the most trying moments of their lives. As a Case Manager, I have been able to build relationships with some of the most interesting people I have ever met. Somehow, the members here have accepted me as a part of their community without judgment. I will look back and remember the times I sat with a client as he finally signed an apartment lease after sleeping on sidewalks for the past two years, or when I gave a member the opportunity to sort through bags of her only belongings in my office because she was so fearful of being robbed when her back was turned, or even the regular meetings where I sit with a member to answer simple questions they have never asked out of fear of being ridiculed by an abusive partner. The members here have allowed me to enter into their culture of mutual respect and appreciation which is right at the core of Senior Supports mission. To many, Senior Support Services is a listening ear, a place of refuge, a friend. For me, Senior Support Services has opened me to learn, to be challenged, to be stretched, to be transformed. As I move on from this year, I know that I will remember these relationships that I have built and the lessons about human dignity that the members here have taught me. Being a Colorado Vincentian Volunteer I have been given the tools to intentionally reflect on these experiences. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a witness to the human experience from moments of tragedy to triumph, from despair to hope, or moments to just be in the presence of an accepting community. I witness this in those who come. I witness this in myself. All of participants of the CVV program experience a maturing that helps them to understand themselves from a new vantage point. They have encountered those living in poverty and have realized that for each individual as they encounter, there is a story unique to that person. A story that makes such an impression that the volunteers carry these stories with them for a lifetime. Joel, a former volunteer, shared this reflection after he left CVV. I recently ran across this quote that reminded me of CVV. When Im free enough to give everything away, to let go of the fear of scarcity, when Im free enough to want for nothing, then, as the psalmist says, God will be my shepherd and there will be nothing I shall want. Moreover, when we all want for nothing there will be no one left wanting. When we accept the surplus instead of wasting it then well have discovered the beautiful truth of life in abundance. I think my time in Denver was the closest I've come to accepting the surplus; and I truly love and thank you for that. |
