Support Joanna's Year of Service

Donate Now

My name is Joanna Holleck. I am participating in the ELCA’s Young Adults in Global Mission (YAGM) program next year and will be going to Argentina and/or Uruguay. The YAGM program challenges young adults to wrestle with questions of justice and faith while inviting them into a transformative, year-long journey in international service.

I am responsible for raising a minimum of $5,000 to help support my year abroad and am grateful for your help in making this experience possible for me.

Areas of service include, but are not limited to, health and development, congregational ministry, human rights, education, homelessness, addiction recovery, women’s issues and children and youth. All site placements provide opportunities for young adults to confront issues of wealth and poverty, racial privilege, economic disparity and globalization, all through the lens of faith.

After learning Spanish for 10 years, I’m excited for the opportunity to live in a Spanish-speaking country and become fluent in both the language and the culture. I hope that my year of service will be filled with meaningful relations and mutual learning about new ways of life. I am also eager to see the ways that this coming year deepens my faith. I am hopeful that my coming year as a YAGM volunteer will be God-filled, rich in community, and a great learning experience.

Thank you so much for your support!
