Hello, my name is Heather Pennington; I recently joined the Central Ohio team as a Community Trainer for The Ohio Benefit Bank through AmeriCorps VISTA. While the Community Trainer position is new to me, AmeriCorps is not. I served with AmeriCorps State in Licking County at a site that offered mentorship to at risk youth. After completing my first AmeriCorps term, I spent a few years working in the sales and customer service fields as well as the public service sector. Upon completion of my BA from The Ohio State University, I worked as a teacher and in the field of recreation. Through all of my experience I have learned so much, and I am still learning. I think the most valuable lesson to me, taught by my parents- though I now see it in others, is that self-sacrifice is the ultimate expression of commitment. I am very excited about my new adventure and am especially looking forward to getting out and making a difference in our communities.
I will be responsible for trainings for the Central Ohio region. Please Contact me at (614) 221-4336 ext. 350 or hpennington@oashf.org if you would like information on becoming a new site, upcoming trainings, or general questions.
I look forward to working with you
