Member Spotlight: Pamela Graham, Teach for America Alabama AmeriCorps Program

Meet Pamela Graham, a Science Teacher serving with R.B. Hudson Steam Academy, a service site of the Teach for America Alabama AmeriCorps program.

1. What motivated you to join AmeriCorps?

I was motivated to join AmeriCorps because I felt that I was moving through life without purpose. I was not giving back or contributing to the greater good. Teach for America gave me that opportunity to provide meaningful service.

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

I hope to get experiences to last me a lifetime in spreading love, sharing empathy, showing patience, and building the self-image of little brown kids like me.

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

During this program year, my service will focus on building relationships within the school and community.

4. What are your plans after AmeriCorps?

After AmeriCorps, I plan on joining a counseling program.

Thank you for your service Pamela!
