On Veteran’s Day, we want to honor the veterans in CIS-SA who are dedicated to supporting students as AmeriCorps Members. Meet Jose, an E5/SGT who served in the U.S. Army for six years. His story reminds us of the stories from some of our own CIS students, as he said, “I chose to serve in the Army because of a recommendation from a counselor who looked out for me. It was a learning experience that opened up travel and educational opportunities for me.” Jose’s service did not end there. “Now, I choose to serve in AmeriCorps to give back to the community by paying it forward,” he said. Thank you, Jose, for your service to our country and the students of CIS-SA.
