Join us for an informative and social session on pushing through the cold-weather slump. Together we will learn some tactics to keep a positive outlook as we enter a fresh, New Year!

This session is open to current, future, and prospective AmeriCorps members and Alumni.

We will feature several AmeriCorps members and alumni and ask them about things they wish they had known prior to their service. If you are an AmeriCorps alum, this is a great way to connect with some prospective AmeriCorps members and offer your advice!
