AmeriCorps
The Monthly Volunteer Recognition Award for December 2012 was awarded to AmeriCorps for their service and commitment to programs of Volunteer Hayward, a collaboration of the Hayward Area Recreation & Park District and the Hayward Unified School District.
Led by field coordinators Elise Stringent and Sabrina Aranda-Smith, AmeriCorps and their students have developed a wonderful relationship with Volunteer Hayward. One of their programs, “Viva Bien, Coma Bien, Siéntase Bien (VCS)”, a HUSD AmeriCorps grant program, is focused on improving health and fitness for families within a school-based delivery system.
