From Member to Director
Tracey was a 2 year AmeriCorps member. She moved into her neighborhood, interviewed residents to discover their gifts and their dreams about what makes a great community. She served in a neighborhood food pantry (to meet people); She organized an amazing community event that celebrated residents gifts/talents. She organized basketball games in the cul de sac, youth activities in the neighborhood; She gathered residents to engage them in what they could with what they had to make the neighborhood stronger (more ownership), better (cleaner, prettier, safer). | |
After two years of great service to her neighbors, her organization (Heights of Hope) asked her to become their new executive director. Among other things, Tracey now supervises additional AmeriCorps volunteers who are advancing the work of community development – neighbors creating a better tomorrow, using what they have. | |
