Building Sweet Connections: AmeriCorps VISTAs Celebrate the Holidays Together
To celebrate the holiday season, over a dozen United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley AmeriCorps VISTAs were joined by staff on December 17 for a team-building activity that involved hot chocolate and gingerbread house making.
AmeriCorps is a national service program administered by PennSERVE (Pennsylvania’s State Service Commission), enrolling individuals in national community service positions. AmeriCorps members represent the best of America, tirelessly serving people and communities across the country.
One of AmeriCorps values is about building capacity within an organization, which involves connecting with peers and building relationships both professionally and personally. This Gingerbread House Making event is just one way we build connection at United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley.
Your United Way is proud to have AmeriCorps members serve in various positions to gain professional experience. Members work closely with United Way staff and assignments are based in the United Way office in Allentown, school districts and nonprofit organizations throughout the Greater Lehigh Valley.
