I yearned to continue living a “life with purpose” and to reach out to other children to share my love and support. This longing to do more for children led me to become an AmeriCorps*VISTA member with the Amachi program.   I yearned to continue living a “life with purpose” and to reach out to other children to share my love and support.

Featured Effective Practice white bullet
Resource CenterGenerating discussions about service, justice, and civic engagement

Although service is an active experience, comprising endeavors such as service projects, service days, or regular tutoring sessions, reflecting on service can bring even more meaning for members and volunteers, as participants both see their personal contribution in a larger historical context and explore social issues. This effective practice highlights a discussion series that is designed to encourage challenging and open debate among members, and can be used as a training session or as material for a quarterly retreat.
