ARISE is working on building a Network of ARISE Ambassadors. For over 20 years ARISE has been involved in hosting Service Learning, Border Witness Visits, and Verano con ARISE.
ARISE welcomes everyone to experience the border culture and educate others about the immigrant community in order to break through misconceptions and develop long standing friendships with people who are ready to learn about the reality, challenges and blessings that immigrant families face. The role of ARISE Ambassadors is to support the Mission and efforts of ARISE in the community.
What is an ARISE Ambassador?
By committing to be an Ambassador for ARISE you commit to promote the Mission of ARISE in the general community.
“The mission of ARISE is to be a neighborhood based program which works together with low-income families to help them to create the future they wish for and to mobilize themselves to become contributing members of society.”
ARISE Ambassadors are part of ARISE:
You make personal connections with families and staff in the community.
You are in solidarity with ARISE communities.
You understand that there are still great needs in the community and you want to support the ARISE communities to empower themselves to meet their needs.
