1. What motivated you to join AmeriCorps? I was motived to join AmeriCorps because I get to help a greater cause.

3. What will your service focus on for the 2019-20 program year? During this program year, my service will focus on maximizing student achievement by having them grow 3 points on the ACT.

Thank you for your service, Celeena!
