Frankie has started an internship with AmeriCorps Mar 15, 2016
WONDERFUL news! Frankie has just accepted a position with AmeriCorps as a paid intern. He'll be working with them to serve his community while building professional skills and earning money as he prepares to live on his own.
Overview
I am a 19-year-old male living on Staten Island. I have enrolled in the Young Adult Success Corps program. This program will help me complete my GED and become ready for a job. I am currently on probation. I am trying to better my life by becoming an independent adult.
My long-term goal is to eventually become an New York City Police Officer.
I am driven to become independent. My first month's rent will help me on my path toward independence as I complete the YASC program and gain skills that will help me find work.
Meeting this need will help me because I will be able to live independently and become a responsible individual.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Frankie fund this need.
