“Quotable”

On Thursday, November 16, about 40 AmeriCorps members, staff and friends came together to celebrate the Corps at Alluvial brewing in Ames. Thank you for another great year! See what our guests thought of the event.

“It was interesting hearing about the variety of projects between the Iowa crews and my crew from the Northeast district based in Duluth. It definitely peaks my interest in applying to work on another crew in a different region to gain experience on different types of projects”

Taylor Mattison (Crew Leader NE District)

“The reunion was such a great opportunity to not only reconnect with all of my great friends from the corps, but to also see the current members and hear their present experiences. Seeing the leadership continue to pour into new members reminds me of how formative and positive my two years in the corps were.”

Emily Stursma (Former Iowa crew leader)

“I had a great time reconnecting with members and leaders that I hadn’t seen much since training. It was also nice to meet with some of the older alumni and get to hear some stories from their member year!”

Sarah Jasienowski (Current Iowa Crew Leader)
