"AmeriCorps was the exact answer after college I needed," Borovicka said about the program, which is being observed this week as part of the national AmeriCorps Week. "It gave me job skills, wonderful mentors, a peer network I still keep today, and the position and commitment for a continued life of service."
Between 2000 and 2010, ComCorps provided more than 10,000 health education sessions for almost 150,000 children and adults and conducted more than 170,000 individual health screenings.
Besides hosting a recruitment fair today in Baker University Center room 230, members of the Ohio University, Athens and Southeastern Ohio communities are invited to shadow members to observe day-to-day activities they perform to make Southeastern Ohio a better place to live. Read more
