“The focus area of my Neighbor-to-Neighbor AmeriCorps assignment that I am the most excited to be working on is within the scope of Organizational Capacity Building and Neighborhood Engagement. This has given me the chance to weigh in on new initiatives and missions, organize structural aspects of operations in the new office space, and collaborate with focus groups and survey respondents to guide our organization. It is an exciting and dynamic process, in which I get to feel that my efforts help my site increase and improve organizational capacity.” — N2N Member
