Our 2022 YV Civil Rights team is starting their week-long learning experience this morning at the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, reflecting in somber silence at the room where MKL Jr slept just before his death. After a short break for lunch they will engage in a tour of Memphis with Pastor Derrick Joyce, and then head to Jackson, MS to be hosted by our friends at Open Door Mennonite Church. Pray for the team during this very full week of listening and reflecting. (Photos by Gisselle Guity, team co-leader)

Civil Rights learning tour – July 3-9, 2022

On this tour, you will learn about the tragedies and triumphs that occurred during the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, as the nation began to reawaken to the realities of racial injustice. You will visit places of historical significance, hear stories, and learn why our faith calls us to stand against injustice and with the oppressed. This trip will occur in the southern U.S., but we hope you will use what you learn to help explore what happened in your community during this earlier era, as well as the injustices that continue today.

Deadline: Please inquire or apply by May 1

Your time will be split between learning from our Hopi hosts, on their land; outdoor activities; and service opportunities. This placement will allow you and your fellow participants to build relationships, deepen your faith, and learn about important peace and justice issues.
