Alum Spotlight – October 2022: Emily Cabot, Cherry Health AmeriCorps
Emily Cabot served as an Outreach and Enrollment Specialist with the Cherry Health AmeriCorps program from 2020-2022. Cherry Health AmeriCorps aims to improve health care access for underserved populations to decrease health disparities and close gaps in health care.
Cabot’s passion for service to the community began during her college career when she participated in service-learning events and Alternative Breaks trips throughout the country. After Cabot received her BA in Public and Nonprofit Administration & Religious Studies from Grand Valley State University in 2018, she decided to take a gap year. She and found AmeriCorps to be a great option to continue to serve the public, learn about non-profits, and save for her education. Cabot described her service term as “an experience that can't be found elsewhere,” she explains that “it is an immersive look at community work on the ground level, where we are living alongside the people we are assisting.”
She is currently working toward earning an MA from Western Michigan University in Religious Studies and credits her time in AmeriCorps for her professional skillset. “My time in AmeriCorps taught me professional skills that are useful to me in my position now,” she continues “ I now also have the ability to interact with indivuduals from different backgrounds in meaningful ways.”
