I met Cyntya Uriegas in 2016 during our AmeriCorps NCCC service year, where Cyntya was one of the cool kids on a specially trained wildland firefighting team. After that she eventually landed on a small island off the coast of Boston. There she spent about a year working with Outward Bound helping inner city kids build life confidence in the great outdoors. Her “kiddos” taught her many surprisingly deep lessons while they worked and played together on the island – about overcoming fears, gratitude, and the power of community. Toward the end of the show, Cyntya gives us the rundown on how her unusual life experiences of the last few years prepared her for her biggest adventure yet – a year-long mission trip with The World Race. For anybody who loves a good calling story, this is one you'll want to hear. You just never know where life will take you!

“It was a smack in the face, but in a good way. I'd never been out of the country, and I was going to a place with so much poverty, but so much kindness. This country—I felt it open its arms and embrace me.” Shauna Riddensdale is something of a serial adventurer—at age 18 she completed a 10-month service year with AmeriCorps NCCC and has not stopped exploring. She's since hiked the Appalachian trail, traveled the country in a van, and even spent time abroad in Nepal as a disaster relief worker. For two months, Shauna lived in a tent city with a hundred other All Hands and Hearts volunteers while rebuilding a school after an earthquake. She shares what it was like to eat Nepali momo and dal bhat with villagers, build relationships with traveling volunteers of all ages, and explore the Himalayan countryside after her service. Shauna wholeheartedly recommends All Hands and Hearts for those interested in both travel and disaster relief volunteering. Go to Allhandsandhearts.org to apply!

At age 20, fresh out of training with AmeriCorps NCCC, Devin Mott helped set up two disaster relief warehouses in response to devastating floods in Louisiana and tornadoes in Georgia. · He shares what it was like being dispatched overnight to disaster zones on just hours' notice and waking up to scenes of devastation · Mucking and gutting houses overrun with mold in Louisiana and clearing tornado debris in Georgia · Sleeping on cots in crowded shelters and showering in trailers · And learning how to operate a forklift and run security to keep relief supplies flowing. Devin also tells us why it's important to be kind to volunteers during any crisis, who are undergoing a tremendous amount of stress to help the rest of us; why you should carefully consider what sorts of goods you donate in the aftermath of a disaster; and what it means to rise to the occasion, put our own discomfort aside, and step in to help others if we can. “It's a stressful work environment . . . but without a question I would do it again, because someone needs to do it. Someone needs to be the guy that says, ‘Hey, I got the time. Hey, I got the ability to make other people's lives a little easier.” -- Show notes: Download the episode on Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Anchor.com For more info on AmeriCorps NCCC: www.nationalservice.gov For more info on the Adventist Community Services Disaster Relief team and disaster warehousing: http://www.communityservices.org/disaster-response

Autumn's service year with AmeriCorps NCCC was the hardest, worst, and best thing she ever did. She shares what it was like to travel the country for ten months with a team of nine 18-24-year-olds, cleaning up after disasters, revitalizing neighborhoods and surviving gator infested waters while basically living out of a suitcase with AmeriCorps NCCC. “… it was something that was so wild, so adventurous, so unique, and it was with people that at this point I had just spent nine months with, and we all just had this experience that we were all going to remember for the rest of our lives."
