IPs participate in a wide variety of service activities depending on the needs of their specific site. IP members generally live in the community that they serve, are responsible for their own housing, and must have their own transportation to and from their service site. During their term of service IP members become an integral part of the sponsoring organization and the community they serve. IP members are also grouped into teams, comprised of approximately 10 members with similar projects, that meet monthly to provide one another with support, networking opportunities, and a connection to the NWSA community. Teams based at the Mt. Adams Center also participate in the Center's residential program.
Folks stay in three bunkhouses tucked amongst tall ponderosa pines right in our backyard.
The possibilities change with the seasons. Finally, community life is determined in a large part by members, and thus, evolves as the year progresses. The rewards of this process are amazing, learning through compassionate communication about how you and others can best live together. Individually placed members serving at the Mt. Adams Center are responsible for their own housing and generally live in or near the communities that they serve. Some members find shared housing.
