Assumption Mission Associates
Goal of Program: Assumption Mission Associates (AMA) is a ministry of young adults in collaboration with the Religious of the Assumption Sisters in their mission to effect change in society through prayer, education, and community building. With the Assumption spirit, the AMA volunteers witness Jesus’ love for all people. The relationships they cultivate transform them and the people they accompany. They exercise their commitment to service in solidarity and communion, in faith and trust.
Placement Type: Whether you want to serve domestically we have many programs to be involved in – as an ESL teacher in a middle school or help with refugees, legal assistance, or youth ministry in Chaparral, NM. Or adult ESL, food insecurity, or an after-school program for inner-city children at a large parish in Worcester, MA. Internationally, many community development projects in the Philippines, or children after-school projects in the U.K. Whether you are a recent college graduate or a young professional dissatisfied with the workplace and looking for more meaning in your life, your primary role as an AMA will be to empower the poor, the young, and the marginalized.
Accompanying the underserved, AMAs discover who they really are and how their faith is deeply ingrained in them.
