Congratulations to
Andrew Schwartz
, our first AmeriCorps Utah Member of the Month!
Andrew is serving with the Boys and Girls Club of Utah County STEM initiative and is an amazing example of a dedicated AmeriCorps member. Always one of the first to volunteer for responsibilities and opportunities, Andrew participated in the
Engaged Citizenship Retreat and is serving on the Utah AmeriCorps Member Gathering planning committee.
At his service site, Rocky Mountain Elementary, Andrew takes the lead planning and organizing the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) sessions he and other AmeriCorps members provide. He regularly shares the great ideas he has with the other AmeriCorps members in the STEM Initiative, and is an active participant in every training meeting. He works hard to provide the students at Rocky Mountain with new and different opportunities to use STEM skills to solve problems and to help the students gain confidence in their ability to tackle challenges.
Thanks Andrew for your service!
