Summer Service & Justice Programs

Looking back at the phrase “Men and Women for Others”, I realize the deeper meaning that underlines it. The objective of a person’s life is to help others in every way as possible. By doing so, we represent Jesus Christ’s teaching about caring for our neighbors. I would have never understood this meaning if I had not experienced moments ... at Jerusalem Farm, [which] helped me shape into a better person. 

-Henry Espinoza Class of 2017
