by VIP Leader Tyler Parthemer
August has meant the beginning of my second term as an AmeriCorps VIP Lead. The first week consisted of three days at my new agency, the City of San Luis Obispo Parks and Recreation Department, and two days of AmeriCorps orientation. The first three days at my agency were fantastic—I was able to meet a very enthusiastic staff, plan and prepare for the first day of school, introduce myself to school administrators, and meet a group of fifteen amazing young teenagers eager to be a part of our SLO Teens after school program.
The two days of AmeriCorps orientation were also great. We have a wonderful corps of twenty-seven members all ready and excited to serve and make a difference in our community. We had the opportunity to learn a little about everyone, write a goal-setting letter to ourselves for the end of the service term, and bond over some great team-building activities. Despite everyone having just met, we were all able to come together and begin to form professional and personal bonds. It was an incredible start to a second service term and I look forward to the ten months ahead.
