    Hey want to thank you Mellon!!
    If I had not found your videos through the randomness that is the UA-cam algorithm, I never would have found out about AmeriCorps NCCC.
    I just got accepted into the Summer 21 program and I can’t wait!

      @@mikaulapaymellen6679 Just wanted to say thank you again. I had one of the hardest, most amazing, most fulfilling years of my life though NCCC because I found this vlog! You no joke probably changed my life, so from the bottom of heart, thank you for making this vlog! Quick side note I have no idea how you had the time to produce this vlog. Our CRR struggled with getting enough photos for our debrief sometimes.

      @@MichiganMitten39 Thank you for the support. It's nice to hear that I made somewhat of an impact. The videos and vlog was honestly a team effort. I'd straight harass my team members for videos each work and they were happy to do it. It was my saving grace as well to keep these videos going. Even nicer that the comments have become a place for other NCCC people to talk! So thank you as well for watching my videos!

      Tell you the truth. I served pre covid so I'm not sure of the regulations currently. There is a hotline that you can call and they are very helpful. I'm sure they can answer your questions. I called them alot before my term started.
