- Mel Ray at SiCM: "Through doing AmeriCorps VISTA I hope that I am able to help develop the capacity of SiCM to have a sustainable community hub that is able to impact the community for a long time. So far, I have learned that it really does take a village and that community connections are crucial to communications, engagement and attendance to our programs. Upon completion of my VISTA year I am hoping to have experience in program planning, evaluation and improvement, and to have a better understanding of what skills I want to capitalize on in my career."
- Logan Coggins at Connect Center: "It's been eye-opening working in the nonprofit sector through Americorps VISTA, meeting and working with all of these passionate professionals has really shown me my service can make a difference. My work at the Connect Center For Youth has been a dream come true. I've been able to not only work with my passions every day but strengthen the skills I need to meet the goals that go alongside them."
- Kamaria Harris at Can Code: "I'm hoping to learn more about data management, as it is an essential piece to a more efficient workplace. I've been able to work on important tasks such as a Facebook marketing engagement tracker for our summer/fall cohorts to help get a picture of our conversion rates for enrollment, which as a result informs our marketing ad expenses and gauges interest on programs to potential students. While doing this, I was able to collect lost data from our recruitment periods and cohort withdrawals from 2016-2022 and put together a database with their information for inquiries about enrollment and future programming assessment. I'm hoping that this information and experience will help me find an opportunity as an operations assistant or production manager at a tech or gaming organization, mixing my passions with my new skills."
