News From the Institute for Human Services
AmeriCorps Kids First Initiative Member in the Spotlight: Tamar Samuel-Siegel
|
Tamar Samuel-Siegel is currently serving in her second term at the Southeast Steuben County Library, where she has learned storytelling skills, program development, and a variety of childhood education and human services strategies. Tamar decided to become an AmeriCorps Member due to the opportunity to learn, work, and serve, three activities that she not only values, but also believes to be inherently valuable to local and national community. Although she is currently being challenged with the question of what she will do when her service is complete, Tamar has enjoyed the structure of a public service position and the freedom to explore her own interests while pursuing challenges she may not have encountered had she not served as an AmeriCorps Member.
