Mercy Neighborhood Ministries improves the quality of life for their neighbors by establishing a strong academic and economic foundation for future success and providing a caring, welcoming environment. They provide quality intergenerational programming with an array of services that fall into the areas of Early Education & Youth Development, Adult Education & Workforce Development, and Adult Day Care. A volunteer is needed as an assistant teacher for children ages 3-5 years old who are attending their preschool program at the Mercy Neighborhood Family Center. The volunteer will be planning and coordinating Pre-K activities, assisting the lead teacher with instruction and academic support, and maintaining the safety and order of the activity spaces.

Mercy Volunteers promote social change through a year of compassionate service with people experiencing injustice. While serving in the spirit of mutuality, Mercy Volunteers cultivate Mercy and justice by embracing compassionate service, social justice, spiritual growth, and a simple lifestyle in community. Volunteers receive housing, transportation, monthly stipends, and health insurance, and can differ student loans. There are opportunities to participate in retreats, spiritual direction, and mentoring.
