Meet Henry Vehrs, our new SSJNC intern!
Henry, 19, traveled from Germany to serve in Camden with Action Reconciliation Service for Peace (ARSP), an organization founded after WWII to inspire young Germans to make a positive difference in the world. He chose to spend his gap year between high school and university volunteering with ARSP because he believes in its mission, and he’s eager to live among people from different cultures and learn about others and himself.
“Camden’s need seemed urgent and significant,” Henry says. Two days a week, he helps at the Neighborhood Center with Food Pantry deliveries and distribution, Market Sharing days, ESL class materials, and donations. He also volunteers at Joseph’s House, serving our homeless neighbors.
“I love that every day is different,” says Henry. “I’m glad to help with whatever is needed!” His favorite part? The connections he’s making with our staff and neighbors.
Even when new surroundings feel overwhelming, Henry is encouraged by the kindness he’s met and is inspired to offer hope and support to the neighbors he encounters.
Welcome, Henry! We’re so glad you’re here.
