Day In The Life

Americorps Apprentice

I build homes through sustainable construction and natural building to combat the housing crisis.

My Day to Day

Empathy and patience are important qualities to have if you want to be in social work. When people are going through tough times, they need people to be there for them. You have to be able to empathize in order to support and uplift them.
