[Community-service] Why did you join?

[Serena Cucco]

Hi guys,

Denyece, we can certainly talk about our Americorps experiences.
Email me offlist.

Ashley, I can't remember the qualifications etc. for Americorps, but
the site is americorps.gov  I actually don't have a blog, but I get
what you mean about writing about my experiences.
