"Without AmeriCorps, I wouldn't have discovered that my vocation lies in service. This program has allowed me to explore my career interests while building professional skills in the public and non-profit sectors."

"Without AmeriCorps, I would not be learning as much as I am now -- about the New Haven community and about working in schools. I am honing in on my skills in the role of On-Track Mentor that will ultimately prepare me for a more permanent role in schools, such as being a school counselor."
- Annie, current AmeriCorps Member serving in New Haven, CT
