I still remember the first time I saw a homeowner settling into his new home after a build. It felt great to witness first-hand the difference I was making in someone’s life.

Nick Paulson

AmeriCorps alumnus

My career would have gone in a different and probably less fulfilling direction without my time in AmeriCorps VISTA. I am definitely #MadeInAmeriCorps.

Matt Loehman

AmeriCorps alumnus

As a VISTA, I am able utilize my skills to serve people while strengthening my knowledge and relationship with my community through teamwork, community involvement and service learning.

Anita Jones

AmeriCorps alumnus

My VISTA service has taught me skills that will stay with me for a lifetime and I appreciate this opportunity every day!

Halima Hamud

AmeriCorps alumnus

AmeriCorps [...] showed me I was capable of doing work much more difficult than I believed I could, and it also made me realize my days are not truly fulfilling unless I am actively working to serve those in my community and in my country.

Cindy joined the Phone Pal program in March of 2019 as a volunteer. She developed such a strong connection with her client, that the client in turn, was inspired to become a Phone Pal himself.
