 In 2020, I found myself spending a lot of time thinking about two questions: 1) How could I get involved with Crossing Thresholds as a volunteer beyond trip participation? 2) What could I do to help quell the extraordinary pain that COVID-19 was causing in our communities in Kibera? Not only did it turn out that Becca Schneider was asking herself the same questions, but also that the answer to those questions fundamentally aligned with a vision that Carter and Faith had for bringing young minds into Crossing Thresholds. Together, we saw a unique opportunity: creating CT’s Emerging Leaders Initiative (ELI) - a way to bring fresh ideas and energetic young people into Crossing Thresholds to create the future of CT’s leadership and drive meaningful, lasting impact. I’m so happy to share that the dream we had for ELI has become a reality.
After five amazing years as co-chair of ELI, I’ve decided to step down from the position. As part of the process of making that transition, I wanted to share a bit about the journey that we’ve gone through and the way we’ve grown. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on the ways that I’ve grown as part of ELI. And finally, I wanted to write this blog for anyone who is asking themselves how they can get further involved, like I was. If that sounds like you, reach out and let’s chat!
