Closing A Chapter Of Service To Begin A New One by Eileen Lamble | September 16, 2020
Just over a year ago, I packed up my life in Chicago to come to Montana, moving to a state I’d never been, to live with people I’d never met, and to serve in a capacity I had never before. Having just recently graduated from Villanova University, I was so ready to let my post-grad life begin. Serving as an.. Read more
Leaning Into Uncertainty With Grace by Cony Craighead | September 30, 2020
Ever since I was a small child, I was enraptured by the idea of service to one’s country, even if for just a year. I think something of great importance is transferred when offering yourself, your skills and your abilities, to the larger community. It can help develop the social connective tissues that allow us… Read more
Why Service in AmeriCorps Matters Now More Than Ever By Ethan Krenzer | October 13, 2021
Close to reaching my third month of service as an AmeriCorps VISTA with the Montana Campus Compact (MTCC), volunteering during the 2021/2022 year is a significant time to serve. I am so glad/grateful that federal programs and organizations like this one exist. With everything… Read more
The Language of Dreamers by Katey Funderburgh | November 18, 2021
The inside of my wrist is tattooed with a pencil. Cliché, perhaps, for an English major, but more important to me now than it was when I got it in 2019. It was the start of my Junior year, and I was reeling from an Emily Dickinson poetry class that had shattered my world and proved to me that I had something to say. My tiny pencil tattoo commemorates the… Read more
The Value in my Authenticity by Robyn Michalec | December 6, 2021
I came out of the closet when I was 16 in a Wisconsin town that did not embrace its LGBTQ+ community. In many instances, it outright rejected those who came out of the closet. Fortunately, I have an overwhelmingly supportive family, and I only lost a couple of friends as I embraced my identity as a queer woman for the first time in my life… Read more
The Kindness of Strangers by Donna Stuccio | December 10, 2021
I grew up on a quiet little street in the coal mine region of northeast Pennsylvania that dead ended at railroad tracks. The coal cars would wobble and rock as they shook the ground below me. I would rush to collect coal that toppled from the overflowing cars. The deep black anthracite would come in handy for hopscotch… Read more
