We are excited to invite young adult leaders from your congregation to be part of a life-changing experience—the Caminantes Border Immersion program!
Thanks to a generous grant from the Oreon E. Scott Foundation, all program fees are fully covered for a cohort of young Disciples’s leaders (ages 18-30) who want to deepen their understanding of immigration, dismantle divisive narratives, and engage in faith-based justice work at the U.S.-Mexico border.
What is Caminantes?
Caminantes is a transformative journey that blends hands-on learning, deep reflection, and direct engagement with migrant communities, faith leaders, and justice advocates.

This is more than a trip—it’s an opportunity to be part of a movement. We believe that young leaders like those in your congregation are essential in shaping a church that truly embodies radical welcome and justice.
We encourage you to share this opportunity widely and identify young adults in your church who would thrive in this experience. Space is limited, so early applications are encouraged!
Please email: rev.pedro@comunidadlimen.org to apply or nominate a young leader or have any questions about the experience.
We can’t wait to walk this journey together!
In faith and solidarity,
Rev. Pedro Ramos-Goycolea
