Meet Tybrena Alexander, AmeriCorps Team Leader, currently serving with Knox Elementary School, a service site of the Selma AmeriCorps Program.

1. What motivated you to join AmeriCorps? I was motivated to join AmeriCorps because this program provides different opportunities to various challenges. AmeriCorps helps me give back to the community while building real life experience.

2. What would you like to get out of this service opportunity? I would like to get more team leader and professional (job related) skills out of this program. I also would like to see the students pass their academic subjects of reading and math.

3. What will your service focus on for the 2019-20 program year? During this program year, my service will focus on tutoring students with their struggling subjects. Also giving back to my community.

4. What are your plans after AmeriCorps? My plans after AmeriCorps are to further my education and get my Associate, Bachelor’s, Master’s degrees. After getting my degrees I will find a job in my career path.

Thank you for your service, Tybrena!
