Jack Volunteers In Boston

Hello!

My name is Jack, and I am a graduate from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) with a degree in Psychology B.S. and a minor in Political Science. I have recently been accepted as a Corps Member for City Year Boston, an AmeriCorps program!

City Year's slogan is: Give a year. Change the world. I hope to do just that during my time in City Year Boston! I will be working in schools with children from elementary, middle, or high schools in the local area, mostly with teaching, classroom support, mentoring programs, after school programs, and community programs. I will get to apply my leadership skills gained through my involvement and service at UCSD's Alternative Break program to this year long commitment. I'm excited!

But, I am nervous (the good kind, of course)! I'm nervous for the amazing experience, but I'm nervous about funding my relocation! I need the funds to be able to relocate from California to Massachusetts.

I will use 100% of the fund my service year (or two years) in Boston, MA. I have been unfortunate this year without a job, so I would love donations out of the kindness of your heart to ensure I can avoid being "Jack In A Box" and be "Jack In An Apartment/House" instead.

I will need funds for the following expenses:

- Southwest Airlines Airfare = $200+ (depending on time, date, and availability)
- Rent until I start getting paid = $300+ (I'm only getting paid $200 a week, taxed)
- Clothing (since I'm such a Californian, I will freeze, and my temporary uniform) = Variable

These are all estimates, but this is what I plan to use the funds on.

Thank you in advance for all your support! Anything helps, even a few dollars!

In service and gratitude,

Jack Korpob :-)
