For years, she has guided college students from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and the D.C. area into local neighborhoods to experience and engage firsthand what social justice truly means.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her conversation with us, Kate Denson opens up about the vision behind the DC Plunge and her desire to see Christians embody social justice \u2014 not merely as givers, but also as receivers; not only becoming good neighbors, but also allowing themselves to be neighbored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can we do to make our community better?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally introverted, Kate discovered the joy of serving others through a short-term missions trip she joined as a teenager. In college, she joined an InterVarsity (IV) Bible study group and began leading a small group starting her sophomore year. Wanting to better respond to the many questions her group members asked, she committed herself to growing in both the knowledge and practice of her faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her sophomore year, Kate helped organize an InterVarsity summer mission trip to a declining urban neighborhood in New Jersey. Mornings were spent doing cleanup work, and afternoons were devoted to tutoring in an after-school program. The local leader and his housemates \u2014 all in their twenties \u2014 had responded to the **New Monasticism** movement by relocating to this underserved community, a place without restaurants, far from glamorous, and marked by poverty. They were committed to being good neighbors in the most tangible ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The power plant in the area caused severe air pollution, and many residents suffered from asthma and other respiratory illnesses. The leader and his housemates didn\u2019t go to the power plant to protest or demand that it shut down. Instead, they asked, \u201cWhat can we do together to change this situation and make the community better?\u201d Their goal was to be good neighbors \u2014 to build a bridge between the plant and the residents. As a result, they were given a plot of land, which they transformed into a community garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kate was deeply inspired \u2014 she realized that the Christian life isn\u2019t just about all the things we CAN'T do, but also about all the things we CAN do to live out our faith among our neighbors. After graduating from college in 2007, she and a few sisters moved into the Anacostia neighborhood in Southeast D.C. and joined InterVarsity. She went on to serve as campus staff at Georgetown University and George Washington University.\nSince 2012, she has also led InterVarsity\u2019s Justice Program in D.C., bringing students into underserved neighborhoods during spring and summer breaks to serve and learn.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

communities and neighborhoods to be good neighbors and live out the gospel.\u201d (InterVarsity Justice Program)\n\nWhen people hear the word \u201cservice,\u201d they often think of physical service \u2014 cleaning streets, painting houses, tutoring kids, and so on. But when Kate Denson leads these programs, she places the emphasis on relational service \u2014 serving others by treating them with dignity and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She says, \u201cIf you don\u2019t treat people with respect, they won\u2019t care whether you\u2019re painting houses or cleaning the streets.\u201d\nShe also hopes that students won\u2019t come just to \u201cdo charity\u201d or check off volunteer hours, but that they will return to their own communities and continue being good neighbors there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>InterVarsity\u2019s Justice Program in the D.C. area includes the annual Plunge, held during spring break in three to four sessions, each lasting one week and involving 15 to 30 students. During the summer, the program runs Bridge, a month-long experience with a smaller group of 3 to 4 students per session.\n\nThroughout these programs, Kate and her team live alongside the students in the communities they serve \u2014 Plunge takes place in Anacostia, Southeast D.C., while Bridge brings students into Chirilagua, a neighborhood in Northern Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the program, students explore God\u2019s heart for justice through Scripture and learn to serve by following the example of Christ. Kate Denson also developed the Five R\u2019s, which serve as the foundational pillars of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Receive \u2014 Service is not just about giving, but also about receiving.\nStudents are sent out in pairs with lunch money and a bus pass, but no access to Google Maps. Their task is to reach a designated neighborhood in D.C., which means they have to rely on strangers for directions \u2014 and willingly receive help from others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respect \u2014 Not with a posture of superiority that says, \u201cI\u2019m here to help you,\u201d but with humility that asks, \u201cWhat can I do for you?\u201d\nStudents are encouraged to practice this by greeting people in the community with respect, addressing them as \u201cSir\u201d or \u201cMa\u2019am\u201d when engaging in conversation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk \u2014 Low-income neighborhoods are often stereotyped as rundown and dangerous, with high crime rates. Entering these areas can feel risky.\nKate challenges students to take the risk of greeting people on the street and initiating conversations. The message they are sending is: \u201cI\u2019m glad to be here. I\u2019m not afraid.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recognize \u2014 In communities marked by poverty, it\u2019s easy to focus only on what is broken or dirty. But with intention, one can also recognize beauty.\nStudents are encouraged to look for signs of care and creativity: a striking mural, a well-tended garden, or people on the street dressed with dignity \u2014 all signs that residents take pride in their neighborhood.\nThey also practice giving affirmation \u2014 for example, thanking the choir after hearing a beautiful song in church.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rejoice \u2014 Serving others doesn\u2019t always have to feel burdensome, nor does rest only begin after the work is done, when you're back with your friends.\nKate wants students to realize that this very moment can be a time of joy, praise, and delight.\nShe says, \u201cIn the Kingdom, God calls us to be a community \u2014 some have much, some have little. And yet we can still worship joyfully together and learn from one another.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let your attitude change \u2014 and practice justice in everyday life.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 2025, DC Plunge has been running in Anacostia for 19 years, with over a thousand students having participated.\nSt. Teresa of Avila Church provides the gathering space, and both the priest and congregation warmly welcome each group of students \u2014 often acknowledging them by name during Sunday worship.\n\nThis spirit of hospitality is something Kate has experienced personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though naturally introverted, Kate had been using the church building as her office for some time \u2014 coming and going with minimal interaction. But the priest made a point to greet her, invited her to attend church meetings, and encouraged her to contribute more to the life of the church.\n\nGradually, she began to engage in conversation and build relationships.\nWhen the time came for her to connect with others in the community or collaborate with local organizations, her relationship with St. Teresa\u2019s Church often opened doors \u2014 leading to immediate acceptance and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She came to see that everyone has needs \u2014 just different kinds of needs, and everyone has something to give \u2014 though what they offer may vary.\n\nThis realization helped her understand that true dialogue and relationship begin with an open heart, and with humility and love. It means approaching others as whole persons, worthy of dignity and honor.\n\nThose who serve do not come to \u201csave,\u201d but to learn from one another and to serve one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who participate in DC Plunge come from a wide range of interests and academic backgrounds \u2014 some even major in political science or international affairs.\n\nAfter experiencing such an immersive justice-focused program, perhaps one day, they will help shape policies that promote community development and social equity \u2014 informed by the relationships and experiences they formed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kate responds, \u201cThat would be wonderful if it happens!\u201d\nBut she explains that influencing policy is not the primary goal of the Justice Program.\n\nWhat she hopes for even more is that each student \u2014 whether back on campus, in their social circles, or eventually in the workplace \u2014 continues to live out the principles and posture they learned through Plunge: to be a good neighbor, treating others with dignity and honor.\n\nFor example, a student pursuing scientific research might begin to ask whether their chosen topics, grant applications, or career advancement decisions benefit only a privileged few \u2014 or whether they are sensitive and courageous enough to recognize injustice and recalibrate their work toward fairness and equity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kate hopes that through Plunge, a new generation of students will rise up to care for their neighbors in the way of Jesus.\n\nInterVarsity\u2019s Justice Program doesn\u2019t follow cultural trends or political agendas.\nAs Kate puts it: \u201cWe do this because the Bible tells us to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peace with God, with others, with self, and with creation.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people may equate justice with charity \u2014 assuming that acts of compassion for the poor automatically fulfill the call to do justice.\n\nIt\u2019s true that InterVarsity\u2019s Justice Programs include charitable components. For example, the Plunge in West Virginia takes students into underserved rural communities to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet, D.C. is the nation\u2019s capital \u2014 the center of political power, with clean streets lined with flowers in every season.\nCould this place really need \u201cjustice,\u201d or even \u201ccharity\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kate explains, \u201cSome communities have been left behind by the wealthy and powerful. You don\u2019t see them on the map... and tourists don\u2019t go there.\u201d\nAnacostia, where the DC Plunge takes place, is one such community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Traveling along the iconic Pennsylvania Avenue, you start in the Northwest quadrant with the White House, pass by Capitol Hill, and take in the stately limestone government buildings and charming caf\u00e9s. In this part of the city, the average household income is $140,000.\n\nBut continue heading southeast \u2014 across the Anacostia River \u2014 and the view changes dramatically.\nHomes over a hundred years old show signs of wear. There\u2019s no metro access. Just one supermarket serves the area.\nOver 90% of the residents are African American, with an unemployment rate of 16%, and 50% of the children live in poverty. The average household income drops to $48,000.<sup>2<\/sup>\n\nA newly built sports center boasts top-tier facilities and training programs \u2014 but many residents from the other side of the river hesitate to come across and use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This area was once home to many white residents, but after segregation laws were abolished, most of them moved away.\n\nIronically, it was here that Frederick Douglass, the 19th-century abolitionist leader, chose to spend his final years.\nCould he have imagined that a full century after the Civil War, the Anacostia River would still mark such a deep divide \u2014 that white residents would avoid crossing it, while Black residents would have to struggle just to make it across?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kate doesn\u2019t just lead students to witness the needs of the community \u2014 she also takes them to THEARC Farm.\n\nIn the early spring, when the air is still crisp and planting season has yet to begin, students \u2014 more used to holding books and laptops \u2014 put on gloves and help with weeding and tilling the soil.\n\nTo increase access to healthy food for local residents, farmers have worked together to cultivate this community garden. But they do more than grow produce \u2014 they also teach gardening skills and share knowledge about preparing nutritious meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the college students engaged with both people and the land, they began to realize that doing \u201ccharity\u201d was only part of the picture.\n\nTrue shalom \u2014 wholeness \u2014 comes when our relationships are made right on four levels: with God, with ourselves, with others, and with creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what justice truly means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019re finally back!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Kate\u2019s leadership, DC Plunge continues to thrive \u2014 but not without its challenges.\n\nSome students have never talked about racism with people of a different race. It's a very different experience than when white students talk about race among themselves, or when Asian students do the same within their own circles.\n\nIt\u2019s only through Plunge that many begin to realize: poverty is not just about low household income \u2014 it\u2019s also about a lack of opportunity and access to resources within a community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, both in broader culture and within the church, the term \u201cjustice\u201d has become overly politicized \u2014 leading to assumptions like \u201csocial justice = progressivism = liberalism = leftist ideology\u201d. As a result, many shy away from discussing it at all.\n\nBut Kate firmly believes that the Lord is a God of justice, and that He delights in justice.\nAs followers of Christ, she says, we must keep talking about it, keep paying attention, and keep practicing it \u2014 in whatever ways we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>InterVarsity has nurtured many Christian student leaders \u2014 young people who care for others, lead Bible studies, and encourage one another to grow spiritually even as they pursue academic excellence.\n\nKate hopes that students don\u2019t have to wait until they join Plunge to engage with justice. Instead, she longs to see more conversations about justice happening in their churches and among friends \u2014 where they can begin to name the injustices around them and adjust the way they treat others accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One group after another leaves Plunge with their perspectives changed.\n\nThey become more willing to serve the marginalized with a posture of respect.\nTo them, being a Christian is no longer something that happens only in church \u2014 it becomes something to live out anytime, anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kate recalls a Chinese American student from Georgetown University \u2014 Lingling (a pseudonym) \u2014 who was very shy and quiet, but incredibly diligent.\n\nShe participated in the month-long Bridge program over the summer, which required her to go to the park every day to talk with local residents, most of whom were Latino, and build friendships.\n\nBy the end of the program, Lingling had become something of a Pied Piper \u2014 the moment she stepped into the park, a crowd of excited, bouncing children would follow closely behind her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Year after year, Kate and her students show up in the community.\n\nAt the start of one Bridge, as they were pulling bedding out of the storage room, a group of boys \u2014 around ten years old \u2014 came running toward them, shouting excitedly, \u201cYou\u2019re back! You\u2019re back!\u201d\n\nThey couldn\u2019t wait to play soccer with the college students again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be a good neighbor \u2014 and be neighbored.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.\u201d\n\u2014 Micah 6:8 (NIV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Micah 6:8 is a verse well known to many Christians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also see in the Mosaic Law that God calls His people to treat one another with fairness, justice, mercy, and kindness \u2014 including those who are vulnerable or marginalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a full day of walking through the neighborhood and engaging in activities, Kate invites the students to reflect using a large \u201cShalom Chart.\u201d\n\nShe asks them to consider what they\u2019ve seen and heard: In the lives of the people you encountered today, where do you see brokenness in relationships?\n\nShe also encourages them to use their spiritual imagination: What might restoration look like? What would it take for these relationships to be healed? How can we affirm each person\u2019s God-given wholeness and beloved identity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be a good neighbor is ultimately to honor others \u2014 because they are created and deeply loved by God.\n\nJustice is not a zero-sum game, where something is taken from one to give to another.\nRather, justice is a win-win \u2014 a shared participation in God\u2019s abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Kate drives through the streets of Anacostia, she passes by Boone Elementary, a partner school for Plunge.\n\nShe remembers her early days in the neighborhood, when she first volunteered at the school. Back then, the principal, teachers, and other volunteer moms took her under their wing, guiding this young woman in her early twenties as she got to know the school and its students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What Kate emphasizes \u2014 not only giving, but also receiving; not only being a good neighbor, but also being neighbored \u2014 is more than just a principle. It\u2019s a conviction shaped by her own lived experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As she drives past Anacostia Park \u2014 a national park hidden in an urban area \u2014 Kate notes its value as a beloved outdoor space for the neighborhood.\n\nYet the dense trees surrounding it make it hard to see from the roadside; few would guess there's such a large park tucked away behind the greenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/vkl.umo.mybluehost.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DC-9-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10983\" style=\"width:420px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DC-9-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DC-9-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DC-9-50x67.jpg 50w, https:\/\/e-krc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DC-9.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The clean and beautiful U.S. capital, Washington, D.C., is a center of political power\u2014yet it has left behind its marginalized communities.\nAnd yet, in this \u201cland of the free\u201d and \u201chome of the brave,\u201d there are still those who are devoted to proclaiming and practicing justice.<br>In this \"home of the brave,\" there are still those committed to proclaiming and practicing justice.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Kate remembers what the park looked like when she first moved to the area twenty years ago. It was in much rougher shape \u2014 the trails were lined with dead branches, fallen leaves, and all kinds of trash.\n\nBack then, she met Nathan, a Quaker brother around her age, who worked as a teacher during the week and spent his weekends cleaning up the park. Kate eventually started bringing Plunge students to help him.\n\nAs they worked, she often wondered: Does this even make a difference? How long will it take before this park actually looks clean and cared for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Year after year, Nathan continued loving his community in this simple, faithful way.\nAnd year after year, Kate brought students to join him in what sometimes felt like a mountain-moving task.\n\nWho would have imagined that, twenty years later, Nathan would actually clear those trails?\nToday, his cleanup efforts have grown into a nonprofit organization, drawing more volunteers \u2014 and Nathan himself now leads visitors on guided walks through the very paths he once cleaned by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Across the Anacostia River, the pointed spire of the Washington Monument rises into the sky. From another angle, you can just make out the dome of the U.S. Capitol.\n\nThe American national anthem proclaims this to be \u201cthe land of the free\u201d and \u201cthe home of the brave.\u201d\n\nAnd even though injustice still runs deep in the broader society, there are countless individuals committed to proclaiming and practicing justice \u2014 each doing their part in a task so immense, it feels like moving mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">But it all begins with something small \u2014 clearing a single branch, mentoring a single student, offering kindness, and humbly receiving it.\n\nWherever we are, and at any time, we can act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God \u2014 becoming good neighbors along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For more information about InterVarsity\u2019s Justice Programs and the DC Plunge, visit:<a href=\"https:\/\/midatlantic.intervarsity.org\/justiceprograms\">https:\/\/midatlantic.intervarsity.org\/justiceprograms<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpmorganchase.com\/newsroom\/stories\/bridging-divide-in-washington\">https:\/\/www.jpmorganchase.com\/newsroom\/stories\/bridging-divide-in-washington<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Interviewee Profile<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kate Denson, InterVarsity National Justice Programs Director, has been on staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship since 2007.
