FELLOW TESTIMONIALS

Konnor Stella

Kingston Fellow ‘23

“Before Place Corps I didn’t know learning could be fun! Last year I passed by testing out, but every day I would drive to school, park my car and sleep in the parking lot because I didn’t feel like there was any reason for me to be there. But at Place Corps I am showing up and I love learning!"

"Place Corps has been a good choice for me right now because of the variety of opportunities it offers. After high school I completed a few semesters at college and quickly became burned out. I’m still unsure of the direction I want to go with my schooling, and this program is giving me the time and space to be able to figure this out as well as giving me valuable life skills.“

Willie Vega-Ramos

Kingston fellow ‘25

“A big challenge for me during Place Corps was my communication. I’d selectively talk to people I was comfortable with, usually relying on others to speak for me. NOT ANYMORE. Place Corps has really given me an incredible opportunity that I never thought I could get.

KINGSTON FELLOW ‘25

“I joined Place Corps because I wanted to stay grounded. I wanted to keep moving, keep learning, and be around people who were also trying to figure themselves out. I decided to stop working shortly after starting Place Corps to give myself a break. During Place Corps I’ve experienced more than I could’ve imagined.”
