🎙️ We Are the Vessels: Jordan Snipes on Youth Leadership, Service, and Fighting for AmeriCorps
In this powerful and heartfelt episode of the AmeriCorps Connections Podcast, host Nicki Fiocco sits down with Jordan Snipes—a dynamic South Carolina native whose national service journey took him from youth commissioner to two-term AmeriCorps College Advising Corps member, and now, to graduate school and national board leadership.
From working with high school students across South Carolina to joining the America’s Service Commissions Board, Jordan shares what it means to serve with purpose, the challenges facing AmeriCorps today, and what comes next for a generation rising through uncertainty.
🌱 “We are the vessels,” Jordan reminds us. And in a time of national service cuts and political unrest, his words offer both grounding and hope.
