Ripples of Hope: What a Difference a Year Makes Campaign
As we come to the end of the 2021- 2022 school year, we are taking moments to reflect on our journey this past year. At the start of this year, both excitement and uncertainty bubbled up as our schools, students, and AmeriCorps members returned to in-person learning. The year presented unique challenges that bred creative solutions, exceptional teamwork, and inspiring resilience. It is through the patience, flexibility and perseverance of the AmeriCorps members serving in our schools of East San José that we are able to close out this school year strong.
Now, we take time to celebrate all that our students, AmeriCorps members, and school families accomplished this year! We hope to uplift and highlight the joys and successes of the service AmeriCorps members have done throughout this school year. By taking time to recognize these wins, both big and small that have been made through this year, we celebrate the ripples of hope our AmeriCorps members have created. Stay tuned now through June as we center on “Ripples of Hope – What a Difference a Year Makes.”

For today's #MentorshipMonday we have Rayna Wong an AmeriCorps member serving at Ocala Middle School. When asked the best advice she's received from her mentor, she responded "When you're stuck between 2 choices, be confident in the decision you make. If you spend time thinking about what could've been that's where depression and anxiety set in." Thank you so much for sharing with us Rayna!
