The mission of ARISE Adelante is to promote the personal development and empowerment of the immigrant community, especially women, children and youth of the Rio Grande Valley through educational programs that strengthen their organized community and civic participation. ARISE Adelante provides an opportunity for cross-cultural exchange and offers experiences for volunteers to meet with community members and better understand the realities of the border.

Mercy Volunteers are needed to serve in the summer program, assisting in planning and carrying out activities for children ages 3.5-14 years. Due to our housing arrangement, we are only able to accommodate women volunteers at this time.

Mercy Volunteers promote social change through compassionate service, spiritual growth, and simple living in community. Volunteers will receive housing, transportation, stipends, and attend a retreat during their time of service.
