Please Welcome Our Next AmeriCorp VIP Member To Our Team
John Aragon
   
    In our last two e-Newsletters you had the opportunity to meet two of our three AmeriCorp VIP Members here at
United Way of Fresno County. Last but not least we would like to introduce to you our third member John Aragon. John will be assisting in the forward movement of the Income Building Block.

    Hello all! My name is John Aragon and I am excited to join United Way of Fresno County through the AmeriCorps program.  Let me tell you a bit about myself.  I was born in Albuquerque, NM but I was raised in good ol' Fresno.  I attended Edison High School and then went off to UC Davis where I got degrees in Psychology, Spanish, and Human Development.  Then after working as a Program Manager for awhile I flew off to Spain where I got a Master's degree in Spanish Education.  Now I'm back in my hometown exploring the wonderful world of nonprofit.  When I'm not working, I enjoy reading Spanish poetry, eating home-made cookie dough ice-cream, and playing tennis.  I am looking forward to joining this amazing team to help serve our community!

    We are pleased to welcome John and his talents to our team; we know he is sure to be a great advocate for the works of the Income Building Block and an invaluable asset here at United Way of Fresno County.
