Today is a very special day! Our very own Paulette is celebrating her 8th workiversary at 916 Ink!? 8 years is a very long time... but what's even more remarkable is what Paulette has contributed over that period of time.? In case you didn't know, Paulette was the first Production Coordinator at 916 Ink. In that role, she developed the process (and the magic) by which our anthologies are produced and distributed! From there, she became the second-ever Find Your Voice Program Manager and built a strong curriculum, a dynamic team, and meaningful partnerships. FYV is where it is because of Paulette! And now, she leads the way through our new and innovative projects as the Community Programs Manager. With Drop a Pen, the Rancho YPL, and Multilingual Programs, she again proves that Ink can have a deeper community impact than we previously imagined.? Thank you for your time and talents, Paulette.? #workanniversary #inkspiration #nonprofit #dropapen #youthpoetlaureate

In less than a week, AmeriCorps members will celebrate 30 years of service working in communities across the nation in all sectors of public life, creating a lifelong impact for themselves and the communities with which they partner. Did you know there are different types of service within AmeriCorps, depending on your experience and position? 916 Ink partnered with @AmeriCorps and @CaliforniaVolunteers a year ago and has benefitted greatly from our AmeriCorps partners' work. Next week, we will be celebrating their service with AmeriCorps appreciation week here at 916 Ink with highlights on our amazing current service members and some of our alumni, as well as a spotlight on some very special work that our two VISTA members and College Corps will be engaging in, representing 916 Ink at a very special conference!? Please join us as we celebrate #AmeriCorps30 as our AmeriCorps members are truly an #Inkspiration #AmeriCorps #CollegeCorps #VISTAMembers #CaliforniaVolunteers #Sacramento #AmeriCorpsAppreciationWeek
