In this role, I lead in this effort, impacting thousands of corps members across the country and laying groundwork to heal divides across communities. I also serve as an external spokesperson and relationship builder at the intersection of the bridging and national service sector, and collaborate closely with new and existing partners to manage our Bridging Advisory Group and a Bridging Community of Practice.
