Hi! My name is Xandria Parker. I serve as the Volunteer Engagement Coordinator for Volunteer Memphis which is an action initiative for Leadership Memphis. I work with community partners to increase volunteer recruitment and promote anti poverty initiatives. #AmeriCorpsWeek

Upon completion of my Master of Public Health Degree I wanted to do something meaningful and fulfilling during my gap year before applying to medical school. I chose to be an AmeriCorps VISTA Member because I knew I wanted to be a change agent in my community. #AmeriCorpsWeek

My site, Volunteer Memphis, is awesome! In December, I had a chance to work in the planning, implementation, and execution of our Mask Up Campaign with the Mid-South Food Bank. We distributed 36,000 face masks throughout the mid south! #FreeMasksMidsouth #AmeriCorpsWeek

Being a VISTA at Volunteer Memphis has also afforded me the chance to participate in Leadership Memphis’s Fast Track program where I continue to expand my knowledge of Memphis my network of people, and further showing me how I can be a change agent in my community. #AmeriThanks

Hi, my name is Kerry Johnson and I serve as the Data Analyst VISTA for Mentor Memphis Grizzlies. I support a culture of critical community engagement. It's been an honor to labor with this organization to increase awareness in Memphis. Grizz Community AmeriCorps #AmeriCorpsWeek

My time with AmeriCorps has been great to explore the next steps in establishing my career. This work, rooted in combating poverty, has heightened opportunities to continue that mission beyond my time as a VISTA. -Kerry AmeriCorps #AmeriCorpsWeek #AmeriThanks #WeAreAmeriCorps

Hi! My name is Rebecca and I am a current VISTA at Economic Opportunities. One person I want to highlight at my site is my supervisor, Ms. Edith. She is incredibly passionate about helping others and makes everyone smile. I am very grateful to have her as my mentor! #AmeriThanks

At Economic Opportunities, we are all about furthering our knowledge and skills! Here we all are at our latest Professional Development session at CBU where we were lucky enough to have everyone able to attend! #AmeriCorpsWeek #WeAreAmeriCorps #AmeriThanks AmeriCorps

Hi, my name is Heather and I serve at @WEECareInc1. We offer programs to improve outcomes for youth to reduce the rate of incarceration. Ms. Michelle, pictured here, has been an amazing supervisor and has really helped me understand the importance of these programs! #AmeriThanks

While serving in the Tennessee Army National Guard, I began my AmeriCorps journey in MO. When visiting my son in school, I saw AmeriCorps members serving. After researching, I knew I had to jump in! This led me to the CoM program. AmeriCorps #AmeriCorpsWeek #WeAreAmeriCorps

Hi, my name is Reggie and I serve as the VISTA Leader at the City of Memphis AmeriCorps VISTA program. I want to take this time to celebrate our VISTAs for their perseverance and dedication. Thank you for your service! #AmeriCorpsWeek #WeAreAmeriCorps #AmeriThanks AmeriCorps

My favorite memory from service has been working with our VISTA Members to facilitate a virtual day of service for MLK Day. We had a great time writing letters, making face masks, and hosting a virtual donation initiative. #AmeriCorpsWeek #WeAreAmeriCorps #AmeriThanks AmeriCorps

As #AmeriCorpsWeek ends, we are reminded of our purpose as well as our collective power. We're grateful for our VISTAs, program coordinators, directors, sub-site organization supervisors and staff, & everyone else that continues the fight against poverty! #AmeriThanks AmeriCorps
