New Blog Post! Amate House fellow Martina reflects

New Blog Post! Amate House fellow Martina reflects on their life in community at Little Village house and how it has informed her work at her site placement.

"Regardless of faith background, marital status, sexual orientation, ethnic background – they belong here. The intentionality in invitation that I receive at home helps me to be more transparent in offering a place for others and inviting them to belong."

You can find Martina's story and all our blog posts on our website, www.amatehouse.org/blog (link in bio).

New Blog Post! Amate House fellow Emma reflects on the transition from quarantine to community life at Amate House.

"Eight months into my junior year of college, I packed up my apartment, said goodbye to all my friends, and moved back home. There, I finished out the remainder of my junior year and the entirety of my senior year virtually, completely isolated from any community — with the exception of my family, of course.

We've been trying to soak up as much sunshine as possible before the days start to get cold and dark. But the change of seasons means we get to look forward to the holidays, which will be here before we know it. In the meantime, we'll keep practicing our self care. Former fellows, what were your means of self care and thwarting the winter blues during your year in community?
