Meet the Oneders!

Greetings and welcome to 11 months of Earth One adventures! We are based out of the AmeriCorps NCCC Central Region Campus in Denver. Our team consists of 12 members from all over the United States, including (but not limited to) California, North Carolina, Connecticut, New York, Louisiana, and New Hampshire. Our ages range from 18-25 and our personalities are just as diverse. Although we all come from different backgrounds and lifestyles, we have come together to give back to our communities and to help those in need. There’s a lot we will learn this year about these communities, about each other, and most importantly, about ourselves. As a result, we all hope to grow as individuals and make a lasting impression on the places we’ll go and the people we’ll meet along the way.

We hope you will enjoy learning with us this year as we travel to community service projects throughout the central United States and Gulf Coast regions. Happy travels!

Hi! My name is Maria and I’m the team leader for E1. I’m originally from Long Island, New York. For the past 6 years I lived in Pennsylvania, where I attended and worked at Bucknell University. I earned a BA in Classics from Bucknell and an MS in Library Science from Drexel University. I am looking forward to a really great year in AmeriCorps NCCC, especially working with my team in Tennessee for our first project. I love the outdoors and enjoy reading lots of good books.

My name is Robert. I’m from Connecticut. I wanted to join the Peace Corps, but I wasn’t old enough. While looking for other ideas, I found AmeriCorps NCCC. My family has a beach and tennis club that I work at and will own sometime down the road. Two things I like to do most are going off-roading and snowboarding.
