We are excited to celebrate our members, their service and what has inspired them to serve! Every week, we spotlight members from across the state on our Facebook page and twice a month we will compile these spotlights to share on our blog!
Kelly was inspired to serve her third service term in order to combine two passions- education and service. Through her service, her self confidence has grown because she knows that she’s making a difference in the lives of students. Kelly hopes to be seen as a supportive, reliable adult for her students, but most of hall she hops that they gain a lasting positive impression of reading, educators and themselves.

and their future. Through her service term with Michigan Education Corps, she hopes to begin a journey of service to others and uplifting her community to meet higher standards.
