I always knew that I had a heart for service, so when I heard about the AmeriCorps VISTA opportunity, I knew that I had to be a part of it. My name is Kelley Barrow and I am a junior in the Nursing program at USC. I am working at St. Lawrence Place this summer, which is a transitional housing development for homeless families. During these next two months, I’ll be working primarily with children ages 5-12 as they attend summer camp at SLP.
My first three days of work have been amazing. I love getting to know the kids and I love that I’m already beginning to form bonds with them. I hope that by the end of my term, they’re able to see me as more than just a volunteer, and know that I truly care about them and their wellbeing.
This upcoming week will be a very busy one at work, but I’m looking forward to it and I can’t wait to see what the next two months have in store!
