Support Volunteers in Kenya!


Not everyone can afford a trip to Kenya. For some, the cost is prohibitive. Yet, the presence of volunteers is at the very heart of our mission; and Crossing Thresholds wants to make the trip accessible for as many volunteers as possible. 

This summer, several prospective volunteers are hoping to travel to Kenya AND offer their gifts and talents to the children of Kibera. But they will need your support. Together, we can make it happen, knowing that a modest investment will have lasting returns for the children, teachers, and families that we serve. 

Every volunteer travels to Kibera to listen, to learn, and to work alongside community leaders for the empowerment of the next generation of young Kenyans. The community of volunteers creates connections and fosters change.  

Because you are part of the Crossing Thresholds community, you know what a critical role these volunteers play. Please consider a donation to these worthy and willing individuals. Let’s make it possible for them to join us this summer!!

    • Stronger programs for kids: Each volunteer brings skills, attention, and encouragement that help strengthen the learning environment for children and support the adults who care for them every day.

    • Continuity in our partnership with the Kibera community

    • Extra hands and hearts in classrooms and community spaces

    • Fresh ideas, renewed energy, and deeper mutual understanding
