Member Spotlight: Jalynn Carter, ANFRC AmeriCorps member

Meet Jalynn Carter, serving with the Alabama Network of Family Resource Centers AmeriCorps program at the Sylacauga Alliance for Family Enhancement.

What motivated you to join AmeriCorps? I went through the afterschool program where members had served. I saw the impact the members made on my life and I wanted to give that to give that to the younger generation.

What would you like to get out of this service opportunity? I hope to gain more knowledge about my community and its needs so I can help.

What will your service focus on for the 2017-18 program year? This year I hope to lead the youth in my community to make better life decisions in school as well as the community I will be serving. I will be serving in the afterschool program.

What are your plans after AmeriCorps? I would really love to continue to serve my community any way possible.

Thank you for your service Jalynn!
