CCorps Trainer, Matt, and Warnetta celebrate the induction of new members

Teisha's mom brought food for the potluck to show her support

October 4^th through the 17^th I, Caleb Jones, attended the Computer Corps orientation in hopes of having the privilege of joining the AmeriCorps program. Though a lot of the orientation involved paper work and reviewing the policies and procedures, other members and I, had a lot of fun with the teambuilding activities. I learned a lot of things about computers that I did not know before, and a lot about the actual program. The first week was basically paperwork, but when week two started–the fun began. I got to take apart and put together a computer, which is something I have never done before and it was an awesome experience. We also took a trip a Goodwill that refurbishes computers, and got to see their computer museum. AYW student, Ateisha Flint, said “I really enjoyed volunteering at the River City Youth, and the marble game we played.” Unfortunately, not everyone who attended orientation made it in, though everyone was a worthy candidate, there were only so many spots open. About twenty other students and I are now AmeriCorps members, and we all look forward to what lies ahead in the Computer Corps program.
