Member Spotlight: Lawrence Hatcher, Jr., Selma AmeriCorps Program Member

Meet Lawrence M. Hatcher, Jr., Half Time Member, currently serving at Clark Elementary School, a service site of the Selma AmeriCorps program.

1. What motivated you to join AmeriCorps? I was motivated to join AmeriCorps because I wanted to be able to give back to my community while helping to motivate the students to do well in school.

2. What would you like to get out of this service opportunity? I want to see more students score higher on their state tests and to continue to improve on their working habits.

3. What will your service focus on for the 2019-2020 program year? During this program year, my service will focus on helping the students improve tests scores and keeping them motivated when they are feeling down.

4. What are your plans after AmeriCorps? I want to join the Peace Corps so I can be able to go to a different country or countries to help less fortunate. I want a chance to see how others live in their native country.

Thank you for your service, Lawrence!
