Stop the Problem at its Source: Protecting Our Future #podcast #serviceyear

In a powerful moment on the 2024 AmeriCorps Connections Podcast, Amanda McSwine challenges us to think upstream:

"Let’s go down the riverbank and figure out why the kids are falling in the first place. If we stop it at the source, we won’t need a massive system to fish them out, give them blankets, and put shoes on their feet. Prevention has so much more impact." 💡

AmeriCorps members are on the frontlines of this work, addressing the root causes of challenges in communities every day. Whether it’s through education, health, or capacity building, they are positioned to create upstream solutions that make a lasting difference. 💪✨

How can we reframe our efforts to drive sustainable change? Share your thoughts in the comments! 👇
