Happy #WomensHistoryMonth! Meet Laritza Pantoja, @AmeriCorps member and Youth Specialist for @CasaforAll Virginia! Laritza was a preofessor in Cuba, but when she moved to the U.S. her teaching creditials were not transferable. She applied to be a member of AmeriCorps because she wanted to make a direct impact on youth. Casa Virgina's Mi Espacio program recently started 2 school partnership. Through her academia background, Laritza was able to get students to engage in her presentation!

#AmeriCorps not only makes an impact on communites through service, but also transforms the lives of so many individuals who serve with us. Save the date for #AmeriCorpsWeek, March 12-18. We will be sharing stories from our community members whose lives have been changed by service!

#ICYMI: AmeriCorps deployed teams to support recovery efforts on Monday, January 23rd, in New Mexico in response ton President Biden's major disaster declaration after the Hermits Peak Calf Canyon Fire, the largest wildfire in state history.Located in Santa Fe National Forest, the wildfire reached full containment in late August 2022. Heavy rain and thunderstorms followed, which lead to flash flood warnings in multiple counties across North Central and Northeastern New Mexico. The historic fire, and subsequent flooding, devastated communities and tribal nations.

We love seeing members from different programs come together!! Two of our statewide AmeriCorps programs, the @virginiacollegeadvisingcorps and @vastateparks came together for a service day. That’s what we call uniting in service!! @americorps makes a difference!

Did you have someone you looked up to when you were in school?

AmeriCorps members serve across Virginia as tutors, mentors, college advisors, and more. Often, these members are providing services and opportunities that otherwise would not exist. More students get more support and improve their academic skills as a result of time spent with AmeriCorps members. Sharisse served with the Virginia Reading Corps and shares: "“I think the greatest thing that we stand to do is that one on one time…that allows the child to break down those things that might be barriers for them learning." We're grateful for all the ways members serve at over 100 schools, afterschool programs, and more.

Does this sound like something you want to be a part of? Check out americorps.gov/join to learn more today!
