New Beginnings

As many of you already know, I have joined the Jesuit Volunteer Corps: South (JVC) and will spend the coming year in Houston, TX living in community and working with the marginalized and poor. I will be working for Catholic Charities' St. Frances Cabrini Center for Immigrant Legal Assistance. As a legal caseworker, I will be providing immigrants and refugees with low-cost and pro bono immigration related legal counsel and representation. I'm very excited about the work I'll be doing at this placement and also thrilled to have the opportunity to continue practicing my Spanish.

Since I'll be so far away, I’ve created this blog to communicate with everyone and keep you all posted on the happenings in my life. Also, for those of you who are interested, hopefully I can provide some insights into life as a JV. I hope everyone enjoys this and hopefully it will help us stay in touch!

Paz,
Stephanie
