Service as a Second Act in the Classroom

In this episode of The S-Files, we are exploring the service done by AmeriCorps member Jean Abreu, who is currently serving her second term with the North Central Community Action Program AmeriCorps Program. Jean discusses her two years serving students at the Enrich, Excel, Achieve (EEA) Learning Academy in the Wausau School District, returning to assist students in the classroom after retiring from being a high school biology teacher. We discuss how she has worked with students in completing their coursework in the non-traditional computer-based setting, including bringing her biology expertise to the students and how working with the students was adapted due to COVID-19.  Listen to learn about how Jean has continued to reach students in her retirement through her AmeriCorps service, as well as the benefits she has found through serving with AmeriCorps.
