AmeriCorps members often face difficult decisions about what career or educational paths to follow after their year of service ends. This transition can seem difficult, but having a plan of action is one way to mitigate anxiety and uncertainty about the unknown. To make this transition easier for  members, Serve DC and the DC InterCorps Council presents Serve. Lead. Grow. 3rd Annual Life After AmeriCorps Conference! Members will receive practical ideas about how to find meaningful employment and/or the right graduate school. During this conference, workshop presenters will work hard to help members explore many options, including career possibilities. Also, the 3rd Annual Life After AmeriCorps Conference will feature the Next Steps Fair, a career/graduate school expo.

Goals:

• Provide networking opportunities
• Have AmeriCorps members examine their experience
• Provide information on how to face potential barriers
• Educate members on measures they need to take before their service ends
• Offer support in researching job/graduate school opportunities
• Create an overall, smooth transition

Who: 
All DC-area national service members and staff from AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps VISTA.
