Annual Report 2015
Lutheran Volunteer

BuildingCommunities
of Peace with Justice
THIS QUOTATION, credited to Lilla Watson, has been on the back of the LVC t-shirts given to our Volunteers at orientation for many years. Ms. Watson calls us to participate in the jus-tice movement in an entirely different modality. She asks us if we believe that we are bound to one another.
She asks us to stop seeing ourselves as helpers or those being helped; as oppressors or the oppressed; as a one per-center or the 99 percent. Much like Martin Luther King, Jr.
in a letter from a Birmingham jail in which he wrote, “a threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” she invites us to find and experience our common humanity and the connection between us—for we have far more commonalities than differences. Yet, for the most part we have divided ourselves according to these differences and this has kept us from the ‘mutuality’ that Ms. Watson and Dr. King ask us to explore.
In our 2014 Annual Report, you will read about Kelly, an Illinois farm girl, who found a new home in Milwaukee with those she was going to “help” as an LVC Volunteer, and Xavier, an enthusiastic fifth grade “client,” who has since become an LVC Volunteer.
It is experiences like these that we hope to nurture through our program at LVC. In talking with many of you, I hear that this is your LVC story as well, whether you served in D.C. or in St. Paul; during the 1980s or at the turn of the century; or were parents who watched your children find their life’s mission during their year of ser-vice with LVC.
I hope that you enjoy this 2014 LVC Annual Report and that you take some inspiration from it. I also hope that you will continue to support LVC’s efforts to create mutual relationships upon which we will build a just world.
In Service, sam collins, President, LVC [email protected]

KELLY SCHAER visited Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for the first time in 1998—the day she moved there to take a position in the Lutheran Volunteer Corps (LVC). She had grown up on an Illinois farm, so even the urban environment was new. But Kelly be-lieved that service was the best way to create positive change in the world, and she arrived feeling open to every experience. On that first day, she couldn’t have known that she would form lifelong community, friendships, and family, in Milwaukee.
Kelly’s placement was All People’s Church, where she ran Kids Working to Succeed, an urban gardening program for youth. It was there that she met Xavier Thomas and his family. “They were hard to avoid,” she says, laughing. At that time, three generations of Thomases were active in the church: Xavier’s grandfather was the custodian; his mother worked in the church office; and his older brother was attending the gardening program. And then there was Xavier: a bright and energetic sixth grader, always moving at lightning speed.
Following on his brother’s heels, Xavier joined the gardening program, where he learned everything from how to grow let-tuce and find Bible passages to the im-portance of a strong work ethic, and even earned a daily wage. Along the way, he and Kelly formed a friendship that extended beyond the walls of the church and into their families.
“Kelly was like my real sister,” Xavier says. After he lost his house key several times, his family entrusted Kelly with a spare key. At the end of the school day, the bus driv-er would drop Xavier at All People’s, and Kelly would walk him home and let him into the house. Soon, she was an honorary member of the Thomas family, a family that supported each other in times of celebration and need. The Thomases once spent a happy vacation in the pool at the Schaer’s home in rural Illinois. And when Kelly was robbed at a bus stop, the Thomases were the first people she called.
Kelly remembers her LVC year as an intense experience, full of challenge and growth. She deeply appreciated having a home away from home. “Even though they weren’t blood relatives, I had a family,” she says.
After her LVC year, Kelly decided to stay in Milwaukee and continue her work at
All People’s Church as the staff youth director. Fifteen years later, she is still a member of the church, where she was married and her chil-dren were baptized. In fact, Xavier is godfather to her son Devin. “LVC completely changed my life and trajectory,” Kelly says. “It was some-times hard to see the world differently, but I did and I’m a better person for it. Change is about finding out what social justice issues are meaningful to you and not sitting on the sidelines, but being a part of the change.”
Lutheran Volunteer Corps also changed Xavi-er’s life. Today he is the LVC volunteer at All People’s—in the same position Kelly once held. “The impact of LVC on my life is that I know how to give back,” Xavier says. “It’s allowing me to have the impact on kids’ lives that all the volunteers had on mine.”
Xavier is also planning to be married in the church soon. “I’m building all my commu-nities into one,” he says. “My family, my neighborhood, my work, my LVC community, and my church, are all rolling as one community.”
