NW VISTA HIGHLIGHT: Recently graduated VISTA member Kyra, who dedicated a year of service at Housing Hope in Everett! 👏🏼🌟🤗
Through her year of service, Kyra learned valuable knowledge about working within the non-profit sector. She graduated from her position at Housing Hope on August 1, 2023, and will continue to work in the non-profit sector in Seattle, where she will help individuals living with developmental disabilities with job training and retention. Her goal is to eventually obtain her certification in HR.

NW VISTA HIGHLIGHT: Recently graduated VISTA member Sarah, who dedicated a year of service at HopeWorks Social Enterprises in Everett! 👏🏼🌟🤗
Sarah had wanted to try something new, and that is exactly what she got! While she was apprehensive at first, Sarah completed her year as an AmeriCorps VISTA with great success and accomplishment, learning how to function effectively outside of her comfort zone. Now that she's graduated from the program, she would like to get into government work, specifically immigration. Congratulations, Sarah, and good luck to you moving forward!
