During our mid-year cohort showcase, Mariam was featured in our Member Monday spotlight series highlighting her community impact:
At Transform Mid-Atlantic, we are dedicated to our mission of Engaging Campuses in Communities. This week, we’re excited to highlight Mariam Kamal, a TMA AmeriCorps VISTA member serving at the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Baltimore.
Mariam is working on a system to turn client feedback into permanent program improvements. By making sure refugee voices are heard and acted upon, she is helping build a community that is truly shaped by the people who live there.
Beyond the project work, the heart of service is the people you meet. When we asked Mariam about her experience with the VISTA cohort, she shared:
"It’s a chance to work with people who share a similar worldview and collaborate on a mission we all believe in. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know the people who run the program and learning from their journeys. It’s something I hope to incorporate into my own path."
We are inspired by the way our members learn from one another while building stronger, more inclusive communities. Thank you for your service, Mariam!
