AmeriCorps Connections with Shannon Stober | VISTA | What you do and how you did it!

AmeriCorps Connections

Nothing is more powerful than Connections! We are 1.3 million alumni strong - let's CONNECT! AmeriCorps National Service stands as a beacon of hope and unity, embodying the spirit of service that defines the very essence of community and citizenship. We are a voice for national and community service.
We have all served in one way or another - let's engage, learn, and connect with each other! Let's Serve Life After AmeriCorps!

AmeriCorps Alumni Service Projects during AmeriCorps Week March 10th - 16th in Partnership with ToolBank's across the country

Today we talk with Shannon Stober. Shannon served with AmeriCorps VISTA. With a degree in sociology and women's studies, and a less obvious career path, Shannon applied for a VISTA position in Bozeman Montana, got the opportunity packed up her 120 pound dog and a desk and drove to Montana from Colorado - to start her National Service Journey!

What do you foresee for us Alumni? What can we do!?

• Strategic Alumni Leadership Pipeline: Advocate for a deliberate strategy to funnel AmeriCorps alumni into various leadership roles beyond civic engagement, including corporate leadership, small business, and local entrepreneurship.
• Broadening Influence Beyond Service Advocacy: Emphasize the importance of alumni engagement beyond merely advocating for AmeriCorps, focusing instead on empowering alumni to hold positions of power and influence across diverse sectors.
• Maximizing Alumni Potential: Recognize the unique character and values of AmeriCorps alumni as assets for leadership, and actively work towards placing them in positions where they can effect meaningful change beyond traditional spheres of service.
