Xiomara Mena and Lucy Cristancho have been members of the Volunteer Corps for almost three years. In 2012 they attended a Citizenship Now! event at LaGuardia Community College as part of a group. Since then, they have attended countless events almost always together. We sat down with them at our October 25th Brooklyn event to hear their thoughts on being part of our Volunteer Corps.
