Former AmeriCorps VISTA member talks on The Detour Year
by Melina Kolb
Listen to this week’s episode of The Detour Year, our weekly podcast exploring less-traditional post-college experiences. This week we interview Manjima Bose, 27, who spent a year working as an AmeriCorps VISTA member with a Chicago non-profit.
Manjima steered away from the corporate world, earning poverty-level wages helping Chicago Community Ventures with development. She found the job so rewarding, she stayed on as a full-time employee.
