Forget Networking. How to Be a Connector.
This is what I do. I should probably bring it to some sort of scale someday. If you need connecting, I’m your girl.

That means that over two years, nearly 1 million Americans have been turned away from serving the country through AmeriCorps. This is VERY sad to me.
