AmeriCorps Week 2010
This week gives us a chance to step back and thank all of the AmeriCorps members who have worked with us to rebuild Cedar Rapids and the Corridor. Our program has been lucky to work with hundreds of AmeriCorps members from all branches of service. Each of these AmeriCorps members has touched the community in a different way. We have had AmeriCorps NCCC work with flood recovery for weeks to complete one of their team projects. AmeriCorps State and National members have worked with CCIA in a variety of ways including with the VITA program. Then we have our VISTA program, which has seen numerous hard working and dedicated people filter in and out as summer associates and yearlong members.
It is hard to measure the individual successes of each of our AmeriCorps members. However, without their collective effort in all aspects of their service the Corridor would be struggling. Each person’s dedication to service and the community has shown through their efforts. Since AmeriCorps members have worked in a number of different agencies across Cedar Rapids, and worked on a variety their talents have stretched from Cedar Rapids to Iowa City and back again.
As AmeriCorps members we work everyday not expecting a thank you. We strive to make a difference in the community we are living and the lives of the members in the community. However, it has been nice this week to be on the receiving end of so much thanks and generosity.
