Former NC Campus Compact VISTA Invited to White House for AmeriCorps Alums Event

Congratulations to Katherine Baas, NC Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA alumna, for being selected to attend AmeriCorps Alums Day at the White House on August 17, 2012! She was chosen for her active participation in AmeriCorps programs, having served 3 terms (two with NC Campus Compact and one with City Year Miami). During her NC Campus Compact terms (07-08/08-09) her campus host site was Elon University.

AmeriCorps Alums Day at the White House was part of the White House’s Community Leader’s briefing & Champions of Change series. The day was organized by The White House Office of Public Engagement, in partnership with AmeriCorps Alums and the Corporation for National and Community Service. The day was focused on highlighting how AmeriCorps Alumni have leveraged their national service experience(s) to become influential in careers such as education, science, entrepreneurship, the private sector, and community development.

Katharine currently oversees the selections process for City Year Miami’s 180 AmeriCorps members as the Senior Admissions Manager, and serves as the AmeriCorps Alums-Miami Chapter’s Vice President.
