  6. More Inspiration… Former AmeriCorps*USA literacy tutor in NW WA! I did two years of service and have been considering a third year as a VISTA. My first year of AmeriCorps literally changed the course of my future. Before that experience I'd never seriously considered becoming a teacher. By the end of that year I'd decided that teaching was what I really wanted to do. I did part of my master's and teacher education program during my second year of service and am now a WA state certified teacher. I ♥ AmeriCorps! ~Amber Price WebChat # 1: AmeriCorps Week 2009 Corporation for National and Community Service Campaign Consultation, Inc. Linda

  7. More Inspiration… I serve as an AmeriCorps*VISTA for the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Vermont. My goal is to build capacity by providing assistance in literacy and outreach programs, as well as creating a volunteer database, recruiting volunteers and assisting with fundraising. This supports the mission of the library to make sure everyone in the community is aware of the library and its services and uses them actively.My service has given me new skills, in-service trainings and the chance to live in a beautiful part of the country. It has allowed me to put my beliefs into action. ~Marianne Disney WebChat # 1: AmeriCorps Week 2009 Corporation for National and Community Service Campaign Consultation, Inc. Linda
