"I carry my AmeriCorps service with me every day. The patience, creativity, and problem-solving I practiced while tutoring students now guide the way I support clients in navigating complex job tasks.

The commitment to service and community that AmeriCorps instilled in me shows up in how I collaborate with employers, advocate for client strengths, and stay grounded in compassion even on challenging days."
