Si Yu’os Ma’ase’ & Farewell


Dear Friends and Fellow Alums,

After much reflection, I’ve decided it’s time to close this chapter and say goodbye to this blog. What started as a small space to share stories, insights, and lessons from my AmeriCorps journey has grown into something deeply meaningful to me—and I hope, in some small way, meaningful to you too.

Through the posts, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with many of you: passionate, service-minded individuals who believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. You have reminded me that the spirit of AmeriCorps doesn’t end when the service term does—it carries on in how we live, lead, and support one another.

Though the blog is coming to a close, the mission continues. Keep building, keep serving, and keep showing up for the causes that matter. And never forget the impact we can make—together.

“Getting things done” may have been our motto, but it’s also our legacy. Thank you for being part of it.”
