Community Corps Members Appointed to State BoardDecember 29, 2023 Two current Community Corps members, LuTia Colbert and Whitney Andrastek, were recently chosen to participate in the Wisconsin National and Community Service Board (WNCSB). This board aims to, 'promote, train, and allocate resources to programs that enrich lives and communities through service and volunteerism.' LuTia and Whitney will both be serving as Youth Service Participant Representatives, educating others about the importance the impact of AmeriCorps programs can have on Wisconsin communities. Both LuTia and Whitney have never participated in something quite like this before and felt that it would be an excellent way to further advocate for the importance of AmeriCorps: "I applied to the position because it is something I have never done before, and it sounded like a great opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at AmeriCorps and learn about internal processes of AmeriCorps at the state level." ~Lutia Colbert "I joined the board as a way to gain more experience and hopefully learn more about the impact that AmeriCorps has. AmeriCorps offers so many different opportunities and a chance to be part of a state board seems very special, especially at such a young age." ~Whitney Andrastek Whitney will be participating in the Outreach and Public Policy Committee, and LuTia will be participating in both the Public Policy committee and the State Service Plan Committee.
