Member Spotlight: Eden Williamson, AIST AmeriCorps member

Meet Eden Williamson, serving with the AmeriCorps Instructional Support Team in Butler County. She serves at McKenzie High School.

What motivated you to join AmeriCorps? I was motivated to join AmeriCorps because I wanted to help children with education and work towards completing my own education.

What would you like to get out of this service opportunity? I would like to learn from educators on how to teach children so that they can apply what they have learned.

What will your service focus on for the 2018-2019 program year? During this program year, my service will focus on providing direct support to economically disadvantaged students. Our goal is to improve performance in core academic subjects as measured by the pre- and post standardized tests which demonstrates improved academic performance.

What are your plans after AmeriCorps? I will go back to college and finish earning my degree.

Thank you for your service Eden!
