According to Raul, community development work found him - not the other way around. He first heard about AmeriCorps while he was in school. Back then, all he was interested in was a full time job to support himself. But the more he learned about AmeriCorps, the more excited he was to get to work.
"I was really drawn into it at the interview. It was the questions they asked - about working with people, identifying the assets in the neighborhood, bringing people together -that's what got me interested in being a Community Connector through AmeriCorps."
And he's been doing it ever since.
