Allison
My job title is Site Coordinator/AmeriCorps Member. I have been in this position since July 2012.
My work involves training volunteers, mostly whom are college students, to work one-on-one with low-income community members to help them find jobs, housing, and other resources. At the same time time, this allows our students to grapple with issues of poverty and inequality.
What I like about my job is getting to work with so many different people-- our clients and volunteers are inspiring! I enjoy working on many different projects.
