Before accepting the position as an
AmeriCorps VISTA, I was not certain
what direction I wanted my career path to
take. While serving as a VISTA at Our
House, I fell in love with the mission of
Our House and received tremendous
support from the staff in helping me gain
valuable skills and real-world work
experience. As an added benefit, I have
been able to use my Segal Education
Award to help pay my tuition for the
Masters of Social Work Program at UALR.
