Show Notes
What really happens during an AmeriCorps service year? Callie Fishburn did her VISTA year in Bennington, Vermont in the middle of a global pandemic — and came out the other side with lessons nobody prepared her for.
She gets real about the financial sacrifice of national service, the hard truth about building projects that don't outlast you, and why she made the unconventional choice to stay in her service community after her year ended.
Plus — what a community grocery store, a food desert, and MacKenzie Scott all have in common.
🎧 This one's for the alums, the curious, and anyone who's ever wondered if a service year is worth it.
