“After college, I wanted to gain hands on experience with educating urban youth. For two years, I was involved in City Year, an education non profit that focuses on lowering the achievement gap in under-deserved communities. Towards the end of my service year, I heard about Generation Citizen, where I currently work as a Senior Program Associate. GC seeks to provide all students in the US an action civics education. It’s been amazing to see youth advocate for change in their communities through government, so much so that it has inspired me to go to graduate school and receive my degree in Education Policy.” – Jaretta Konneh, Mount Holyoke ’14
