I am a current member with Mn Reading Corps, getting ready to serve my fourth year in August. It has been such a joy to serve. Not only due to the connections you build with the students you serve but the other members you serve with. When trying to explain why I serve I am always overwhelmed with emotions. Simply put, I serve for those light bulb moments, that moment after weeks of working with a student on a literacy goal and it finally clicks into place. The sense of pride and joy on a students face makes it all worth it.

Mn Reading Corps provides training and support through out your service year, so you never feel alone. They also have a whole week where they appreciate their service members with games and gathering opportunities. Here in Duluth, we even get a day of recognition with the Mayor!

Serving has played a pivotal role in my life, by giving me a sense of purpose and direction. I have grown and learned so much about myself. I will never forget my time with Mn Reading Corps! Thank you for the opportunity to serve my community!
