AmeriCorps Member Julia Bina’s Independent Service Project

Each AmeriCorps member is responsible for planning and implementing an Independent Service Project during their term of service, and Julia Bina recently completed her project. She invited women associated with the Rice Street Royalty Program to Rebuilding Together to take a brief class on the basics of construction and then build birdhouses and little free libraries to be donated to the Rice Street Community. The Rice Street Royalty Program is a local community ambassador program whose mission is to empower women through community leadership. Each year, women participate in the program’s candidate experience in which they engage in service projects, community events, and professional development. At the end of candidacy, three women are selected to represent the program for one year as Rice Street Royalty Queen and Princesses. Julia had the three current royal ladies, eight candidates, and two of this year’s judges participate in her event. The group made 12 birdhouses and two little free libraries that will be installed/donated to the community. Thank you to Julia for putting together this great project and to the Rice Street Royalty Program for volunteering their time!

AmeriCorps Members Attend LEAD Conference in Denver

We are currently hosting three AmeriCorps members – Julia and Emily in the Twin Cities Metro and Sharlett in Southwest Minnesota. The three AmeriCorps members recently attended the AmeriCorps LEAD Conference in Denver. The purpose of the LEAD Conference was to bring together AmeriCorps members from across the nation to “learn, engage, accelerate and develop” with one another.

During their time in Denver, Emily, Julia, and Sharlett were able to connect with AmeriCorps members serving with Rebuilding Together affiliates from across the country. They also participated in several informational sessions and leadership development programs and were able to explore Colorado by hiking in Colorado Springs and going to a Rockies game!

We are very grateful for the hard work and dedication of our AmeriCorps members and we loved seeing the photos from their Denver adventures!
