Father Gregory Boyle of Homeboy Industries in LA once said “You go to the margins, so that the folks at the margins make you different… It’s not about saving the day, or Jesus complex, or the great white hope, or any of those things. You don’t go to the margins to rescue anybody. But—go figure—if we all go there, we all find rescue”.
In a similar way, as we engage in the community, journeying alongside each other, working together and serving our community we learn and grow together. We are very keen for you be part of that! We’d love you to find opportunities that best suit your unique skill set (and your time constraints!).
Listed below are a number of different opportunities which might be of interest – but they are not the only opportunities – so feel free to get in touch and we can see what might work best for you.
