Shayna Canty didn't find AmeriCorps β AmeriCorps found her. π From a dermatologist who saw something in her she couldn't yet see in herself, to a service year in Scranton that changed everything, Shayna's story is one of those "just say yes" journeys that reminds you why national service matters. π₯
Now she's Pennsylvania's first youth commissioner in over seven years, a Service Year Alliance Alums Amplify member, and still finding new ways to show up for her community. She is STILL GETTING THINGS DONE! π₯
