Alum Spotlight – July 2026: Jaunine Hackmon, Faith in Youth program
Jaunine Hackmon served as an AmeriCorps Volunteer from 2016-2017 in the Faith In Youth AmeriCorps program. The Faith in Youth AmeriCorps program was hosted by CultureWorks, an after-school arts program.
“Serving with AmeriCorps allowed me to build my skills and network which directly led to my current career path. I also made some lifelong friends along the way,” Hackmon said. “One of the things that I learned through AmeriCorps is the beauty of collaboration as I seek to work well with other people and organizations in the youth development and college access field.”
Although the program is no longer operating, the experience shaped her professional trajectory. Hackmon is now a Grand Rapids Community College Promise Zone Success Coordinator. In her current role Hackmon helps students with case management, transition support, college persistence, and accessing campus resources. She works tirelessly every day with students on an individual basis to encourage them to go to college, whether through GRCC or elsewhere. For students considering GRCC, she fiercely advocates for them, encouraging them to take advantage of the full tuition scholarship the Promise Zone offers. Further, even after graduation, Hackmon connects with students over the summer, actively working against the "summer melt”, and helping them take the final steps to follow through with their college enrollment. Once enrolled, Hackmon connects individual students to college success coaches, so they are never lost. Hackmon attributes her success in her field to her time in AmeriCorps.
Using skills developed during her service, Hackmon remarks that “I look forward to any opportunity I have to share the important service that current AmeriCorps Volunteers are providing and help others understand how they can get involved if interested.”
