At JOIN, we believe that the best way to learn about the issue of homelessness is to talk with homeless people.

Our immersion program inspires personal involvement by building relationships between diverse elements of the community.

Over the course of a day, a weekend, or a week, you can learn about issues involved in homelessness by engaging in dialogue with folks living on the street.

The Immersion experience will provide you with the tools to confront your personal fears and stereotypes, and help you work to overcome them.

The Immersion is an excellent way to help people educate themselves about poverty and social injustice through relationships and conversation.

If you would like to be a part of an Immersion, or want some more information on the experience, talk to your group leader, call JOIN’s Immersion Coordinator at (503) 232-2031 or email our Immersion Coordinator.
