May-August 2011
I volunteered as an Americporps member at Community Action in the Food Bank and Food Pantry. As part of my responsibilities I counseled with clients, helped with the intake of food at the donation door, and completed data entry in DBA and Access. I worked with a variety of people from a wide range of circumstances, from homeless to simply going through loss of work, as well as minority groups. Working with the Hispanic population that came to Community Action gave me an opporunity to practice my Spanish to the point I am now comfortable with conversational Spanish.
