AmeriCorps Staff Raina and Kelly leave SMYRC in Style

For those of you who know Raina and Kelly you will be sad to know that their 1 yr term with SMYRC is about to end. The youth gave a terrific performance last Friday at open-mic in the center. From the volunteer perspective we will miss Kelly and her tremendous coordination efforts. Raina will always be remembered for her inovative efforts with Bridge-13 and for organizing the memorial for Lawrence King, the gay youth shot to death by a heterosexual classmate earlier this year.

You can listen to Kelly's interview in the SMYRC Revolution podcast:

We are hoping that Raina will let us interview her this coming week, so stay tuned.

Both Raina and Kelly are looking forward to a well earned vacation and planning for the next stage of their lives. Whatever it is that is in store for them professionally we know that they will give their heart, spirit, and love to their work.

Best of lucks Raina and Kelly!
