I’m leaving in …12 days! for training in Boston and then onto California, Oakland to be exact where I will be volunteering for a year. All of my updates will be via twitter or my blog. you can see my twitter feed on my blog so that makes it even easier for those of you who haven’t succumb to the cult that is..twitter.

So I got offered a position. In California. Oakland California to be exact. It’s a great position though, they do a lot of great things out there. They provide refurbished computers to students, offer free tech support, create free wireless spots around the area, and do a lot technology education. Eliminating the Digital Divide as it were.
what’s next? Well since I applied via CTVista I have to apply via the regular Americorps website which I did Friday. They have to go over my references and things. Somebody might call to ask so more questions and then I’ll be listed as ‘accepted’ and I accept the offer and then I can finally learn some more about how I’m going to get over there and the things I need to do to prepare.
I’m totally psyched!

I’ve finished my americorps app. and might I say it is kickass good. I’d hire me to volunteer. I’ve applied to 3 positions so far.
wish me luck

Almost there… I will be doing AmeriCorps this year, which matches you up with a site somewhere in the U.S. for you to volunteer for a year. At the end you get an educational stipend, and you don’t have to pay student loans while you do it! :-)
