Philip Krabill, originally from Elkhart, Indiana, has decided to spend the next year participating in DC Service Corps! After spending five years in northwest Virginia for higher education at Eastern Mennonite University, he found that Franciscan Mission Service aligned with his values of social justice, spiritual discipline, and solidarity with the poor and oppressed. DC Service Corps was a natural next step. In the past, Philip has spent time with community-based initiatives in Carchá, Guatemala (Sembrando Esperanza), Cape Town, South Africa (Pinotage Youth Development Academy), and right here in DC (Congregation Action Network). He is serving as the Peace Coach Assistant and Communications Coordinator at Little Friends for Peace. Outside of work and spending time with other volunteers, Philip hopes to find time for swinging his pickleball paddle, riding his bicycle, and playing his guitar.
