Commitment to Be The Neighbor's Mission and Vision
Be The Neighbor is a justice-based service-learning trip ministry that equips youth and adults to live lives of love, service, and justice. We visualize a world where, through love of neighbor, justice is realized, people flourish, and communities are made whole. Be The Neighbor values love for all people and creation being spiritually anchored in and moved by our faith building community and living as neighbor affirming the dignity and humanity of all. Be The Neighbor is related to The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ. Be The Neighbor welcomes everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

We agree with and commit to carrying out the above mission and vision.We are committed to Be The Neighbor's value of being LGBTQIA+ open and affirming

Name Your Partners
We ask that each site begins with a minimum of five community partners you are already invested with who are working within the same justice focus area. Partnership for us means you have a close personal relationship with them, and your community gives and volunteers with them regularly. We expect that partner organizations will know your phone number/email and feel comfortable reaching out to your church when they need help, and will feel confident that you will say yes to help if reasonably possible or connect them to someone who can help.

Name Your Experts
Each trip will have “experts” in your justice area who are available to teach groups and share their story. Experts include people who have experienced the topic (i.e. have been homeless, are refugees, etc.), non-profit and community leaders who work in the topic, activists around the theme, or educators who research and/or teach around the theme.

Name Your Site Director
Each site will have one staff person who commits to overseeing the Be The Neighbor program at your site and working to help plan the weeks prior to groups arrival.
Check here if you will be the staff liaison and the contact information provided at the top of this form should be utilized.
