Hello, everyone! My name is Lauren Kirby and I am thrilled
to fill the Volunteer Coordinator position for the next year. I was born in
Omaha, Nebraska, but Cedar Rapids, Iowa is where I consider home. I recently
graduated in May from the University of Northern Iowa with a Bachelor’s Degree
in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. I love to read, enjoy the outdoors, travel,
and most importantly, spend time with friends and family.
I discovered LVC (Lutheran Volunteer Corp) from an
LVC alumna, which I am so grateful for! The goal of being a member of LVC is “building community, working for justice, and living
simply and sustainably”. We had orientation last week and then a few free days to
venture around the great city of Chicago.
I just returned a couple of weeks ago from three
months in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, working with military children living on
base; it was quite the experience as well as a learning opportunity! I also got
to live the Hawaiian life, which included snorkeling, skydiving, surfing, and
going to a Luau.
I can’t wait to jump into this position and hold up
the remarkable reputation of LPCS. I have a long term goal of working in the
non-profit world as well as working toward social justice. I have only heard
great things about LPCS and feel incredibly fortunate to work with this
organization. I am eager to work with and get to know wonderful people and am
very pleased to be here!
