The Stevenson Center is pleased to welcome the Fall 2023 cohort, each bringing their own unique set of experiences and dreams to the mix.  Students from this cohort have already served communities in Bloomington-Normal, Peoria, Chicago, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Vanuatu and Ethiopia both independently and through programs such as AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps.  Some plan to bring this experience back to communities they have already served, while others plan to go out into the world and find new communities to develop.
