In this episode of AmeriCorps Connections, we sit down with Griff Ryan Roberts, an AmeriCorps NCCC, NCCC Leader & VISTA alum, who’s now in his final year of law school. Griff shares the honest, often humorous, and deeply impactful story of how a surprise call from Vinton, Iowa changed his life trajectory—from selling iPhones to becoming a passionate advocate for national service.
We talk about:
🤝Life in NCCC: From 10-person crews to living in church basements
🤝Lessons in leadership as a team leader and unit leader
🤝His shift from direct service to systemic change
🤝The bold proposal he’s working on: A 21st-century GI Bill for civilian service
🤝Why service builds empathy, resilience, and national unity
