AmeriCorps Spotlight: Concetta Modica
“I first learned about the AmeriCorps year of service on my school’s career site. I was always interested in legal procedures and legal organizations, but I wanted to work in public service prior to getting involved in (hopefully) a legal career. My motivation for wanting to know more about law was the desire to help disadvantaged groups and to inform groups of laws/services that are available to help them. What attracted me to the year of service was the idea that I could learn more about groups I would like to help and build a foundation of public service. I thought that, by building outreach programs and being available to help those in need, I could really make an impact and learn more about disadvantaged groups in a hands-on way.” ~ Concetta
