My AmeriCorps Term has been meaningful towards preparing me for teaching. BAYAC has helped get me interested in teaching Latino populations at the elementary level. Team Days have benefited my development by improving my articulation and facilitation skills.

Julia Stahl @ Horace Mann Elementary
Honestly, one of the most meaningful aspects of my OCASA Term of Service has been making small connections with students and supporting them as they learn how to treat each other with basic respect and express themselves in an assertive way rather than an aggressive way.

Elizabeth Beltran-Larios @ Life Academy High School
My service site has been very supportive. Staff and teachers have encouraged me to go to grad school in order to obtain my teacher’s credentials. Furthermore, they have offered a paying position as a tutor and teacher for summer school through the Fall semester of 2014. Life Academy has been great - I feel blessed and lucky!
