AmeriCorps alum David Karst spent five years as an AmeriCorps VISTA with the AIDS Service Association of Pinellas County in Florida. Towards the end of his service, he began exploring how he could get HIV testing into the community. He sought funding for his dream of having a community health center and found private foundations willing to support his concept. The Suncoast Resort Project opened in May 2002. Knowing this was a unique concept in the prevention field, he decided to apply for funding to expand the program. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is funding the project for five years. As part of AmeriCorps Week, the Corporation for National and Community Service honored a handful of outstanding AmeriCorps members, alums, and corporate sponsors with Spirit of Service Awards in recognition of their contributions to national service. |
