Megan Corbett, Youth Programs CIA Member
Megan joined us straight from graduating from Arkansas State
University with her bachelor’s degree in Social Work. Throughout her college years, Megan worked as the youth intern at
First Baptist Church in Jonesboro. Through that experience
she realized that she wanted to continue pursuing her passion
for helping youth, which is what brought her to apply for the
position with Our Club, the after school program at Our House.
Megan uses her passion daily to serve the community at Our
House by planning and implementing fun and educational
projects and activities for the after school program.
When asked if she realized the effect she would have at Our
House, Megan said, “Our House has changed me. These kids
are phenomenal. It amazes me every day how much these kids
inspire and challenge me to be a better person, and if I give
them even a fraction of that, I have done my job well.”
