Additionally the city’s proximity to the heart of many social justice issues --the US border wall and immigration, the desert and food/water security, and the air force base and the US military industrial complex-- means that every day there are opportunities to live out a faith that speaks truth to power and love to the powerless.” - Karina Kreider, Tucson MVSer 2014-2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1612830231456-TITSWBKTIT3GUTPXD1EO/IMG_0856.jpg Why MVS? https://www.tucsonmvs.org/placement-examples daily 0.75 2026-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1642045945599-R3VYQXE60WRFLFU3LWG6/DDoD%252BLogo.jpg Placements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1642046229555-GBX2G8UZHXRNDBMWEOX3/FIRRP.png Placements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/a14121a0-94d2-4d8e-84ef-1dcf9ab3a71b/watershed-management-group.png Placements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/bed99cca-69d3-4f47-a353-6cf053050523/2019%2BFull%2BLogo%2Bno%2Btagline%2BColor%2Btotally%2Bwhite%2Bbackground%2B%283%29.png Placements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1613019603635-1IX8TI5NM3TQ8WFVT2DK/IMG_0179.jpg Placements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/d0fc9ac5-b021-44f6-9903-326d70334056/LiteracyConnectsMichaela2.jpg Placements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1620675129473-MG8UB7FU8OIG4XABZPH9/00greyhound-edit-slide-JWT7-superJumbo.jpg Placements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1622850073158-Q3N26VIB4N59ZOTXUOQN/LiteracyConnectsChild.jpg Placements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/daa757e3-4fd3-4670-8c5c-c129a434302f/Screenshot+%2850%29.png Placements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/6f063dd8-1284-45cb-b715-fc4370dfc311/SaveOakFlat.jpeg Placements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/59232723-219f-4ea5-b278-effbbaae7427/homepage-home-tour.jpg Placements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1612472189353-I62SKPF4PYHOSGXKCSND/index__element43.png Placements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1612472330342-605HXLMP4MYHUYPDP9Y7/300-lc-logo-color-transparent-for-video-800.png Placements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1620676317780-WY1M0LAEMR7QPB7VNI6S/Casa+Alitas.jpeg Placements - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.tucsonmvs.org/how-to-apply daily 0.75 2024-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/d1d1fdfe-3eba-41b9-bd99-d33982b00f29/9c0c26b7-f6ae-41fa-8a36-fd6df51a7598.JPG Application Process Photo by Frankie Lopez on Unsplash https://www.tucsonmvs.org/faqs daily 0.75 2022-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/27b10998-e952-451e-b6ad-55ee51994aab/IMG_2355.jpg FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1612864355886-OYAPEIWFK6814P7JMZOK/2012-13+unit.jpg FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/c958aef7-1a6d-4586-be6a-7cc9c9a6f0d7/PXL_20221028_231042258.MP.jpg FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1612864440840-9MJLBRQ39GD939KSKLYY/IMG_9608.jpg FAQs https://www.tucsonmvs.org/meet-us daily 0.75 2023-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/30789a4e-0c8f-4479-9e6a-0062d2e7d6e4/showalterfamilymini-35.jpg Meet Our Team “I am so excited to come on board as the new local program coordinator for the Tucson MVS unit!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1612628549431-4TMOZKS7QWPCGUB3KVJB/IMG_1306.jpg Meet Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1612628581199-UZJL2VIF2HB8CAV3MVGN/josh.jpg Meet Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1621641546703-7OKMAC3WGX4FTLXJXH0G/mandy+2.jpeg Meet Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1613855000102-IWQKPZ370SCM9M5AG1LJ/Edie.jpg Meet Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/3375cdbb-b7db-49b3-9aab-60383d3bc3d9/Audrey.jpg Meet Our Team https://www.tucsonmvs.org/partner-with-us daily 0.75 2021-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1613033215596-EB8ARN445N5N8BXQSVS6/IMG_0805.JPG Partnering with Tucson MVS Tucson MVS matches volunteers with nonprofits and community-based organizations to utilize their gifts and serve the community of Tucson for one to two years.

Mennonite Mission Network offers one-on-one spiritual direction and even seminary classes for interested individuals. In addition, two Friday afternoons each month are reserved for programming which might include studying a book, vocational discernment sessions, or exploring issues of faith. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1612943059591-PVAJKK1GQUS77DVSJ4AO/Shalom2.jpg Spiritual Formation - Local Faith Community Shalom Mennonite Fellowship is the supporting congregation for the Tucson MVS unit. Shalom, an intercultural faith community, welcomes unit members’ participation in their immigration justice work, their commitment to antiracism and creation care, and worship and community life. Church members are supportive and involved with a variety of local nonprofits, including a community garden, centers for health care, homelessness, food justice, migrant care, creation care, and issues affecting our indigenous siblings. Shalom invites unit members to join them in their informal and casual worship as participants and as beloved members of the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1612940829542-LSG72ZRJLU1LSYL7XGA3/MigrantTrail2017.jpg Spiritual Formation - Social Justice Work Tucson’s location by the border makes it a hub for immigration work. You will have the opportunity to tap into a wide network of people and organizations (in which Shalom passionately participates) working toward justice and safety for migrants, as well as touring and experiencing first-hand the work on the border. Tucson also neighbors the Tohono O’odham Nation and Pascua Yaqui Tribe, making issues effecting indigenous populations very central to justice work in Tucson. Our location in the Sonoran Desert makes creation care a very tangible concern, and our diverse population makes antiracism work vitally important. Tucson MVS is committed to learning and working toward justice for all. https://www.tucsonmvs.org/placementapplication daily 0.75 2021-02-12 https://www.tucsonmvs.org/site-coordinator daily 0.75 2021-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1620673616933-3P7K7PTANHRSZOWW6662/WhatsApp+Image+2020-03-31+at+3.47.28+PM.jpeg Site/Volunteer Coordinator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6013287b09847a2ceb06a052/1620674407326-QO4JEUY8WWQT79YRRWBF/Casa+Alitas.jpeg Site/Volunteer Coordinator -
