Meet Our Members CoL Member Spotlight on… Sophia Canon, serving 7th and 8th grade ESL students at Franklin Middle School What were you doing before joining CoL? Before serving with CoL I was finishing up my senior year, majoring in Peace and Conflict Studies, at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Why did you decide to serve with CoL? I decided to serve with CoL because I am passionate about education, but was looking for an opportunity that would help me gain experience in the classroom before taking the leap into either graduate school or further job training. Though it has only been a few months, I have already learned so much about myself as an educator, and I am hoping to continue on that path! What do you plan to do after your year of service? After this service year I am planning on applying to get my MS in Education/Teaching with a certificate in ELL/ELD. Click here to read more profiles of AmeriCorps members currently serving in CoL!
