Meet Nash Gipson, Tutor/Mentor, currently serving with Valley Creek Community Center, a service site of the Selma AmeriCorps program.

1. What motivated you to join AmeriCorps? 

I was motivated to join AmeriCorps because I want to help my town. I want to help the youth and others in need by making the community safer.

2. What would you like to get out of this service opportunity? 

In my service, I want to show everybody that people still care about each other. I want people in the community to know that we have not forgotten them.

3. What will your service focus on for the 2021-2022 program year? 

During this program year, my service will focus on bettering myself by continuing to grow. I want to show love to everyone. Lastly, I want to help the students in my school term succeed.

4. What are your plans after AmeriCorps? 

After AmeriCorps, I will attend college to pursue both Welding and earn my CDL license. I want to become a truck driver and help my family, friends, and people along the way.

Thank you for your service Nash!
