      Everyone can make a difference, but it can be hard to know where to start. So many people helped me to find my passion and learn compassion by encouraging and inspiring me to serve. In this role, I enjoy working with an incredible team that helps others discover their own volunteer super power. I love this job! It uses all my best skills, managing federal and foundation grants, basic tech systems, and HR administration. I get to work with an amazing team that includes inspiring national service members, and best of all, #alldogsgotoHON.
