Time has really flown […]
Alumni Meet Ups — Planned and Unplanned
The Carrboro house crew was on a Ben & Jerry’s run at Harris Teeter recently, when they saw a familiar face — JSC alum Alli Little! She was having a reunion with her former JSC housemate Erica Long. They shared a photo and this story from their connection: “We had a nice chat in the […]
Closing out the 2017-18 Year
While the 2017-18 Johnson Service Corps Members are with us for a few more weeks, the official programming year recently finished up with dinner and the CM’s Presentations on Learning and Service. In this JSC equivalent of a capstone project, the Corps Members reflect on what they’ve learned during the year, how they have utilized […]

I chose to apply […]

Alum Spotlight – Ashley Reid
My name is Ashley Reid and I am an alumna of the Johnson Service Corps 2015-16 cohort. I found JSC after making a major life transition from working a full-time salaried position in Washington D.C., to spontaneously teaching abroad in Spain for three months. I quit my job in D.C. after admitting how miserable and […]
Meet Micah
Hey there! My name is Micah Smalley and I’m from Burke, Virginia, about 20 minutes from Washington, DC. While North Carolina isn’t too far from home, I’ve been enjoying the time to explore a new place that I haven’t spent much time in before! I live in the Carrboro house with four other lovely corps […]
