Reflections from AmeriCorps Members
My experience as an AmeriCorps member has been very exciting. I've learned so much over such a short period. This has been a chapter in my life I will never forget.
My Summer AmeriCorps position is a wonderful opportunity to work with a nonprofit before I begin graduate school.
