Jeffrey Post is presented with the President’s Volunteer Service Award by USA Freedom Corps Acting Director Kathy Wills Wright. Jeffrey is an active member in his community. Along with his wife, Melanie, he has taken two trips as a Global Volunteer; one to Poland and the other to Ireland. In Poland, in spent two weeks teaching English to adults and said he felt it was his opportunity to give back. His trip to Ireland was a bit different. He and Melanie worked to revive the Glencree Centre for Reconciliation through general maintenance and renovation. Although it was hard work, Jeff said it was a very rewarding experience. Back here on our side of the pond, Jeff and Melanie are very active participants in their local Habitat for Humanity and just recently saw a home through to completion. Similarly, he has volunteered as a general “Mr. Fix-It” to those in his hometown who need a little extra assistance to complete small household projects.
