Genesis has served as an El Sol volunteer since 2013.
Genesis graduated from Florida Atlantic University’s Wilkes Honors College this spring with more than 800 community service hours on her transcript, many of those earned here helping our education program coordinators.
Now, she is headed north to serve as an AmeriCorps VISTA member at The Immigration Project, which provides access to quality legal services in Central and Southern Illinois.
She will start as the nonprofit’s volunteer coordinator this August. Dedicated to national service, Genesis is currently planning for a second year as an AmeriCorps VISTA member and a year in the Peace Corps. Afterward, she plans to complete a master’s degree in social work.
Genesis has served as an El Sol volunteer since 2013. We will miss her, but we are very proud she will be taking what she saw and learned here with her to Illinois and beyond. Congratulations Genesis!
