Why AmeriCorps?

Jan 19, 2024

From our Program Manager, Crystal…

Last week, I was one of two staff members who traveled to Atlanta, Georgia to attend the YouthBuild Americorps Service Symposium.  This is a great opportunity for YouthBuilds across the county to come together, connect, and learn from each other.  Americorps is such an integral piece of our program so when these opportunities arise it is important to attend and gain as much knowledge as I can. 

For me, one of my key takeaways was learning best practices on trauma-informed service projects.  It made me think about what we are doing or what we could be doing for our members.
