In anticipation of AmeriCorps Week next week (March 13-19), we show our appreciation for all our AmeriCorps members – both past and present – that have built the capacity of our network, committed to serving their country and community, and have deeply impacted their colleagues, their host sites, and the communities they serve. In this episode, Joree interviews our director of community services, Maureen Allen, and our national service program coordinator, Carrie Dennis, about what makes service to your country and community so special.  

Thank you to AmeriCorps VISTA members Carl Alcorn, Destiny Braden, Adam Householder, Amanda Draeger, and Tracy Excell for sharing their experiences and their impact with Just a Bite!
