现在?
Thank you for your intentional participation in a 服务 & 正义之旅. You may have been inspired or moved to a next step. The challenge for us now is to decide what to do with our experiences. “现在什么?” We offer a few suggestions of how to get involved in Omaha 和 beyond. 我们并没有所有的答案, but we can help you to stay engaged in the seven pillars of the 服务 & 正义之旅 程序 while you ask better questions 和 live into the answers. Stop by the office to talk more in person if you would like.
