LVC Appoints New Oakland/Bay Area Coordinator
Lutheran Volunteer Corps has named Rae Chen Huang its San Francisco Bay Area Coordinator, responsible for LVC’s program in Northern California. LVC Volunteers, staff and local leaders are excited that Rae will bring her skills, passion, and commitment to LVC. Rae has experience in social justice work, multi-ethnic ministry and young adult servant-l eadership, as well as volunteer program administration and recruiting.
Most recently Rae has worked at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Athens Greece, leading a study on Wholeness and Healing, as well as contributing to research regarding human trafficking in Europe. Previously she served as director of youth ministries at 4th Presbyterian Church in Boston. She incorporated community organizing, retreats, a civil rights pilgrimage, and social justice education into the young adult and youth ministries.
Rae graduated from Boston University with a master of divinity degree in 2007 and received her bachelor’s from Boston College in 2004.
“I am excited about the Bay Area Coordinator position and the opportunity it affords to present volunteers with the opportunity to learn from, grow with, and serve others,” says Rae, while “providing hope and spiritual guidance for those journeying in life, and to aid LVC in pursuing its mission to create a just, peaceful, and inclusive community and environment.”
Rae will begin LVC work on April 1. The SF Bay Area Coordinator office is located at University Lutheran Chapel, 2425 College Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704. Rae’s office telephone is 510-528-4479. The email will be BayArea@LutheranVolunteerCorps.org.
