AmeriCorps at La Puente

Rural Alliance for Dignity (RAD)
La Puente would not exist without the support and energy of our AmeriCorps members, who commit a year of service and are the core of our team. These individuals come from all over the country to serve at the front-lines of La Puente's direct-service programs. While here, individuals serve a full 40 hours a week, take part in community living, and participate in professional development activities (i.e., various trainings, retreats, and community nights).
For more information, please contact Alicia Salazar at admin.volunteers@lapuente.net

La Puente would not be able to operate our programs and services if it were not for the committed service of our full time volunteers and AmeriCorps Members.
