Tyler Henry (2012 BACH H&SS) is a youth development Peace Corps volunteer serving in Zasullia, Ukraine, a village of approximately 5,700 people. He was sworn in June 11 after three months training in the town of Obukhiv and is teaching clubs related to healthy lifestyles, the world of work, and active citizenship at the local secondary school. “I will instruct my Ukrainian students on such topics as HIV/ AIDS prevention and transmission, journalism, volunteerism, and leadership, and during the summer, I plan to organize camps related to these topics for Ukrainians all over the country,” he writes. “Following my two-year service, I hope to provide sustainable clubs and developments for my lovely Ukrainian community, and, hopefully finally achieve fluency in a foreign language.” Stay in touch at thenry712@gmail.com.
