1. What motivated you to join AmeriCorps? I wanted to serve in my community and learn about community resources.

2. What would you like to get out of this service opportunity? Learning more about the needs of my community, resources available to meet those needs, and become an integral part of assisting with attainment.

3. What will your service focus on for the 2019-20 program year? During this program year, my service will focus on assisting youth with skills to enhance their relationships in a positive way. I will also assist in student’s learning skills to navigate socially and emotionally despite life challenges.

Thank you for your service, Patricia!
