The AmeriCorps Pledge

11/5/2014

I will get things done for America to make our people safer, smarter, and healthier.
I will bring Americans together to strengthen our communities.
Faced with apathy, I will take action.
Faced with conflict, I will seek common ground.
Faced with adversity, I will persevere.
I will carry this commitment with me this year and beyond.
I am an AmeriCorps member, and I will get things done.

MY SERVICE WITH AMERICORPS

Our AmeriCorps team on Kiva.org has helped 990+ people in 55 countries with nearly $25,000 in small $25 loans since 2008.

9/1/2014

The AmeriCorps lending team on Kiva.org that I started in 2008 has now directly helped more than 990 people in 55 countries with nearly $25,000 in small $25 no-interest loans to help improve their lot in life.

Kiva Lending Team: AmeriCorps

(as of May 2014)

Our loans have helped people like Irma Irene in Peru buy school supplies for her children; and Marco, a young father in Peru who will use his loan to buy organic fertilizer for his potato farm. He's focused on serving his customers quality food and his dream is to buy his family their own home.

Join us on Kiva with this link and receive a free $25 to make your first loan - therefore, absolutely zero risk to you. (Full transparency: Yes, I will also receive a free $25 to make another loan as well. Win-Win-Win.)

AmeriCorps Opens Doors

8/3/2014

Back in Dec. 2012, I spoke with students at East Rockaway High School in NY about AmeriCorps - specifically, opportunities that national service can lead to and the doors it opens.

Here's the audio of my presentation cut to the photo slideshow I shared at the time:

If you do, thanks for watching.

#2. Write a memo to the President or the First Lady on the issue of your choice. - My successful White House Internship application

7/20/2014

The following is the memo I wrote to President Obama and the First Lady as part of my successful White House Internship application in 2009.

I felt it was time for me to read it again.

National Service is important.

Real mail

3/30/2011

When was the last time you received a piece of real mail?

Not a bill of course; you know, something you maybe weren't quite expecting, but were super excited to open and read once you saw?

Yesterday I sent some mail.

"I am a Social Entrepreneur." And that is where smart business is going.

3/22/2011

I had a realization today... a revelation of sorts actually. So naturally, this came to me while in the shower. Yes, really. (Typical, right? Personally, I'm genuinely surprised at how many of my ideas and projects have literally come to me while bathing. It's quite frankly ridiculous. You too?) So in the shower today, I realized that I am a Social Entrepreneur.

Okay, a budding social entrepreneur... with surely a lot to learn, I admit (in fact I look forward to it). I recognize this word has a buzz to be careful of; nonetheless, I feel confident that this will be - that it is - my niche to find in this world. My role to fill.
