Shayna
I am the Resource Specialist at Inspiration Corporation, an organization that focuses on increasing self-sufficiency and employment in populations affected with homelessness and poverty. My work is to provide support to our participants in achieving personal goals through connecting them with external resources.
At the beginning of September 2015, I started at Inspiration through AVODAH, an Americorp program. When I originally discovered Inspiration in 2013, I was truly moved by the commitment to the values and the pride of the participants. I feel honored and humbled to be a part of our vision and the individual missions of our participants.
