Skillcorps Alumni - welcome back!

WELCOME BACK FROM YOUR LIFE-CHANGING ADVENTURE! YOUR SKILLCORPS® ALUMNI JOURNEY

WELCOME BACK! Welcome back from your life-changing adventure! Your Skillcorps® journey has only just begun.So much to think about, so much to process…. What happens now?

Reverse culture shock is a real thing. Take a minute to reflect on what you experienced. What did you learn about yourself, about other cultures, about the world at large?Remember that not everyone you speak to has had this experience and may not quite understand the new perspective you have on the world. Try to be patient and kind if you run into someone who maybe doesn’t quite get it. Many people will want to hear all about your experience and learn from you. If some don’t, try not to take it personally.

It’s time to discover your new role in this work, this mission, this movement.

WHAT'S NEXT? First, request to join the Skillcorps Alumni group on Facebook and on the app !You’ll be connected with the rest of the Skillcorps family so you can all talk about your shared experiences, use each other as resources and also be the first to know about upcoming Alumni trips, special announcements, and secrets we decide to share with only our favorite people.

Next step, schedule your exit interview. Please take 15 minutes to share your honest feedback about your experience so that we can continue to learn and grow as an organization and improve the Skillcorps experience with each new group.
