I like being a part of the Full Life Care AmeriCorps team because it presents the opportunity to become active in our community, as well as create a place of comfortability for social engagements. I am currently coordinating a six-week Chronic Disease Self-Management Course.
A favorite part of my service experience is getting to meet many different residents, who all have so many stories to tell and experiences to share. I never know what to expect to hear throughout my day. It can range from talking about current events to reminiscing about old cars and anything in between.
The favorite part of my service experience is being able to take part in art activities during programs. Art is my favorite form of expression and I get to savor it in so many ways through this position, from designing event flyers to creating mixed media art with participants. Art reflects a piece of ourselves that exists in that moment, so I feel more connected to the older adults I serve, especially those with memory loss, through their creations.
