Nicholas McMahon
JPPSS- Hispanic Resource Center
Nick grew up in Sulphur, Louisiana (just outside Lake Charles). He took up the guitar as his main source of enjoyment in his teenage years. Whether it is playing in a band or teaching guitar, the instrument is never far from him. Nick left the small town of Sulphur for Baton Rouge where he attended Louisiana State University. After a few adjustments with his major, he graduated with a degree in History.He moved back to Lake Charles and began working random job trying to find something he enjoyed. He decided that Lake Charles was not the place he wanted to be at the moment and began looking else where for the next adventure which brought him to New Orleans and Americorps. Other than guitar, he likes learning new instrument and useless trivia Nick hopes to one day to visit every presidential burial site. |

Caroline Warburton
Even Start Family Literacy
Caroline grew up in a small town in southwestern Virginia. After graduating from the University of Virginia (go 'Hoos!) and spending a year as a College Guide in a Virginia high school, she finally gave up the Blue Ridge for the chance to live in New Orleans. Confession: she has a serious crush on words. Prose, poetry, talking, writing, spoken word, fiction, non-fiction.... you name it. This year in AmeriCorps will marry that love for language with her belief that education is essential for social and political change. Her goal for the year? Teach as many people to fish as possible. |

Judith Patrick
New Orleans Public Library - Computer Room
Judith enjoyed her previous year of AmeriCorps so much that she decided to try the ride again. She's currently facing new challanges as a proud volunteer at the main branch of the public library on Loyola and Tulane offering computer literacy assistance. A fan of rollercosters, she enjoys seeking out aspects of life that are attractive yet elusive. Random sunsets, lollipops and cicada husks are a few of these things. She spreads her love of the world in her work and with her doggie, Samus the destroyer of worlds. Her hopes for the year to come are many and include learning how to ride a motorcycle and helping people learn the wonders of the internet. |
