So last Monday I woke up to a call offering me a position with Semester at Sea. This morning, I woke up to a call offering me a Team Leader position with the National Civilian Community Corps as a Team Leader for fall 2010. If this job mojo keeps rolling, I may be president next week. Just saying. :)
For those of you not familiar with NCCC, it's an AmeriCorps program for 18-24 year olds who are "stationed" at one of 5 campuses throughout the United States: Vicksburg, MS, Vinton, IA, Denver, CO, Perry Point, MD, and Sacramento, CA (where I'll be). Along with their Team Leader (me!) and their team of 8-12 people, they work on 6-8 week long service projects called spikes. They complete 4 spikes within their region of the country during their 10 month commitment. I'll be serving in the Pacific Region, serving Alaska, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, and the Pacific Territories. I'll move to Sacramento on September 1, do a month of training, meet my team for another month or so of training, and then hit the road to get my service on!

It's a combination of just about every job I've ever had: Collegiate Leadership Consultant for Gamma Phi Beta, working in student affairs with college students, and AmeriCorps. It's going to be pretty exciting, not gonna lie.
And double bonus to have a job lined up for when I get back from Semester at Sea!
